A celebration of authenticity, the inner child and the freedom to be yourself, it's an invitation to dance as a raw, unfiltered expression of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMe and My Friends' sound defies easy categorisation. Highlife, folk and jazz run throughout, but the band have peppered this new album with ingredients from disco, rock, samba, gnawa and cumbia as well. Bring Summer pulses with energy, dynamism, layered harmonies and compelling storytelling. And the group incorporate their influences in a manner that feels intuitive, comforting and enveloping, like a warm embrace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the meditative flow of their previous release Before I Saw The Sea (2023), the band decided to challenge themselves by creating an album designed to be danceable from start to finish, reflecting the freedom of summer months at their free-spirited and raucous live shows. There is an emotional depth set against this danceable music though. Bandleader Nick Rasle says, \"I've always loved music that combines grooves that make you want to dance with a melancholy in the vocal, especially reggae and highlife. Several of our parents are now into their 80s. Within that slowing down there's a reminder to make the most of the time you have while you can.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLP Tracks: Tell Me \/ Happiness \/ Listen To The Child \/ Many Miles Away \/ La Verite \/ How Can I Sing \/ Bring Summer \/ Had I Made A Sound \/ Volons Vers La Lune \/ Cumbria\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EAR TRUMPET MUSIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45469950050460,"sku":"MAMFLP005","price":29.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/9_8d784cdd-29f7-4b8d-aeb6-3b3567cfda40.webp?v=1761503611","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/me-and-my-friends-bring-summer-lp","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
