Having teased us already with the singles “Lucifer’s Glory” and “A Glass of Laughter”, The Natvral (aka Kip Berman, former frontperson of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart) unleashes another great cut “Summer of Hell”. It is taken from his forthcoming new solo album The Summer of No Light, due out on September 1 via Dirty Bingo Records.
The song is a heartfelt and relatable piece that showcases Kip’s talent for crafting catchy folk rock tunes with emotional depth. He says the following about it:
“Rich kids slum it, young adults cling to the costume of youth, day and night are just different reasons to draw the blinds, impetuous love turns to rancor, and a faint yellow cloud of decadent penury settles upon a crumbling shared rental. You won’t be getting your security deposit back. Friends go and come and go again, and there’s a fellow hanging about called “the doctor” that no medical board would rightly certify. It only ends when pantomimed tragedy gives way to the real deal — or the season changes”.
