Brighton’s FATECRIMES return with “Summer Thunder”, a slow-building alt-pop gem that combines poetic intimacy with a surging undercurrent of energy.
Following the cosmic shimmer of their debut “Heliosphere”, this second release takes a more grounded turn — emotionally rooted, rhythmically driven, and sonically lush. It's a song that feels both deeply personal and widely relatable.
From the opening lines, Anna’s vocals draw you in with a calm intensity. There’s a quiet power to the way she personifies the natural world, turning clouds, sun, and storm into mirrors for emotional experience. The lyrics carry the type of youthful truth that doesn’t age — simple, sincere, and stirring. You believe every word, because it’s clear she means every word.
Kieran’s drumming is a standout feature — not just because of its technical finesse, but because of its emotional timing. He gives the song breath where it needs it and thunder when it demands impact. It’s a percussive performance that matches the song’s rising stakes without overpowering them — a steady pulse in a shifting storm.
The production on “Summer Thunder” creates space and depth, allowing the track to swell and contract like a change in weather. Layers unfold gradually, echoing the way emotions often arrive: in waves, not straight lines. There’s a sense of restraint here that makes the song even more powerful — it doesn’t explode all at once, but when it does, it’s earned.
With “Summer Thunder,” FATECRIMES solidify their identity as a duo unafraid to explore emotional terrain with both precision and passion. It’s a track that’s meant to be felt — and one that leaves a mark. If this is what stormy introspection sounds like, we’re happy to stay in it.
