J Churcher’s folk debut “In the Summer” gazes into the rearview mirror of a faded season [Premiere]
Premiering today, the warm acoustics of “In The Summer” quietly announce London-based newcomer J Churcher’s presence in the landscape of dreamlike indie folk. The timeless track recalls Mazzy Star’s acid-washed desert reveries, Mojave 3’s hushed contemplation, and even Spiritualized’s tenderest moments while inhabiting its own dusky domain.
The song's poignancy hinges on the interplay between Churcher’s delicate vocal and the threads of reverb that twine around it. Nested in these warm acoustic tones, Churcher’s voice spills out like so many aged photographs coming unstuck from their album pages. Like looking back at a snapshot from seasons prior, “In The Summer” invites us all to take pause as we squint in summer’s waning light toward autumn’s aching uncertainties.
