As the clouds continue to gather around us here in the UK to share their water based gloom, warm days under the loving rays of that big ball of fire seems a distant promise but here to reassure is the new single from British popsters NARCOTIC HEARTS. Through their new track, they tell us that Summer’s Coming and wrapped in its toasty virulence that glow of comfort that warm days bring feels like it is at long last settling on our doorsteps.

Summer’s Coming comes around eighteen months after the release of the band’s acclaimed self-titled debut album, a recording silent gap though still seeing NARCOTIC HEARTS sharing their unique contagiousness across their own shows and major support slots with the likes of EDDIE & THE HOT RODS, THE WOODENTOPS, and most recently MY LIFE STORY escalating their reputation. Based within a St Albans, London and Kings Lynn axis, the quartet stirs a pot of sound that is glam punk, power pop, punk and new wave brewed with more besides in its ingredients and offering an individually hungry sound within every song as that first album proved. Their new track is a pop punk cured slice of incitement with psych and art punk inclinations swirling in its indie pop exploits. It, self-tagged as ‘outsider’ pop, is joyfully a proposition ever difficult to truly pin down and within Summer’s Coming provides a feel-good infestation of viral cheer.

The track immediately winds its intoxicating prime hook around ears, a lure with a BUZZCOCKS-esque potency that is soon surrounded by strolling riffs and nagging rhythms. It is a joyous affair from that first breath and concentrating its keen intent on arousing the same seasonal felicity within the listener.

With an old school punk breath to it too and vocals as manipulatively enlivening as the sounds around them, Summer’s Coming is quite simply a song that will get you bouncing, dancing and hollering. It is the first irresistible protagonist in your soundtrack for the warm months to come and even if that climate heat does stay away, NARCOTIC HEARTS have your happy times covered with their outstanding new single.

Summer’s Coming will be released May 31st on The Perfect Pop Co-Op label, available digitally and on Ltd Edition signed 7” single @ https://narcotichearts.bandcamp.com/album/summers-coming
