There Will Be Fireworks share new single, "Something Borrowed"

The highly anticipated new record follows their cult sophomore album The Dark, Dark Bright, which was released in November 2013. More than a half-decade in the making, work on Summer Moon initially began back in 2016, the band crafting the thirteen songs that make up the record in the years since.

The album is preceded by powerful lead single "Classic Movies", which is also accompanied by a striking video, made by filmmaker Kris Boyle.

The first There Will Be Fireworks album to be written remotely, Summer Moon was pieced together over time and distance, with the five-piece trading demos and arrangements via email over the years. This slow, considered songwriting approach massively impacted the finished product, the band iterating on the songs for far longer than before, carefully crafting an album that would finally be pulled together at Gargleblast Studios in Hamilton, Scotland, alongside engineer/producer Andy Miller (Mogwai, De Rosa, Life Without Buildings).

""Classic Movies" was always the most powerful and weird song for me, from the very early writing stages. Nicky’s part sounds simple but then Gibran comes in, at what feels like the halfway point of a repetition, with a creepy guitar line that flips the verse backwards. I never quite knew where the first beat of anyone’s part was - even my own - and I really enjoyed that. I think it makes for quite an uneasy, uncanny listening experience because it was such a disorientating experience writing it," says Adam Ketterer.

Speaking on the album, Nick Keterrer explains: "The Dark, Dark Bright was written on the cusp of real adulthood, as we were entering the world of work and leaving home. Summer Moon has been written from a perspective that's ten years older still - with wives and kids and mortgages and careers, and people close to you starting to die. There is a weight brought by all of that, I think."

"Love is a big theme - like, serious scary love in all its terrifying power. And also a feeling of melancholy or listlessness which is difficult to explain or capture but which I think comes with the territory of getting older. But most important is hope and – more than hope – the acknowledgement that life is actually good or that it can be made good. The summer moon is supposed to encapsulate a lot of that, as a symbol of a nostalgic past but also as a promise for the future.”
