Weight In Gold

Indian Summer is about hot-and-cold loves, on-again-off-again romances, where the bright moments feel so good that you forget about the dark ones. The concept is based on the weather phenomena called "Indian summers," describing brief periods of unseasonable warmth.

Heat wave
Meltin pavement
On the freeway
Runnin to your basement
These days
It don’t feel like it’s December

Felt warm
When you kissed me
Cold storm
Seemed to miss me
Now the sky’s torn
And my achy knees remember

Indian summer
Pretend it’s alright
Small patch of green
Surrounded in white
Forget that it’s dark
When we’re all caught up in light

Hot car
Cold molasses
Burn marks
On both our asses
Latent stars
Just waitin for our time in the sun

Sunset
Looks like sunrise
Cold sweat
Drips in my eyes
Cheap bet
Just waitin for our moment to come

Indian summer
Pretend it’s alright
Small patch of green
Surrounded in white
Forget that it’s dark
When we’re all caught up in light

Two steps forward
Three steps back, okay
One dark cloud
And all you see is shade
All is fair in love and war they say
Fair weather love in the winter will you stay?

Indian summer
Pretend it’s alright
Small patch of green
Surrounded in white
Forget that it’s dark
When we’re all caught up in light

Indian Summer

Papa Adams and Sarah Lettes met on Craigslist. During the height of the pandemic, Sarah sent a message to the Craigslist universe looking for collaborators. Papa, a guitarist finishing his degree from home in Northern Virginia, responded to the ad. The collaboration grew in true 2021 style -- texting and sending voice memos back and forth for months before finally meeting in person. The duo shares many of the same musical inspirations, including Big Thief, Phoebe Bridgers, Wilco, Radiohead, and Gillian Welch. The name, New Insomnia, is a nod to the time period in which they created this music -- a time when the world was experiencing new kinds of restlessness and unease.
