London quartet The Big Moon have released their new track ‘Summer Still Comes’, taken from the upcoming deluxe version of their third Here Is Everything, due for release on October 13.
Following a storming summer of festivals, including a packed slot at Glastonbury in June, the band have announced a run of UK and EU shows for December this year. The tour kicks off in Genk (Belgium) on December 5, taking in Paris, Glasgow, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Bristol and Oxford, finishing up at London’s Union Chapel for a very special stripped-back performance on December 18.
‘Summer Still Comes’ is a stunning waltzing synth-led rumination that further showcases the band’s innate ability to write smart, sharp alt-pop triumphs. The upcoming deluxe version of Here Is Everything include a further bonus track ‘Round Forever’, which features lead vocals from bassist Celia Archer, and remixes from Marika Hackman and Art School Girlfriend.

On the track, Juliette Jackson says: “It’s a song about longing for your friends and loved ones. Experiences just don’t really mean anything to me unless I can share them with someone else. And the changes of the seasons feel so relentless and unforgiving when your life isn’t moving at the same speed.”
Here is Everything documented the arrival of that baby in real time, and the simultaneous arrival of a new mother, full of excitement and fear. Meanwhile, the rest of the band doubled-down in the studio, taking Jules’ embryonic song frameworks and stepping forward as one, revelling in an innate, giddy togetherness and with a clutch of genuinely fantastic tunes.
Here Is Everything was mostly self-produced, with the expert guidance and expertise of co-producers CECIL (Self Esteem, Jehnny Beth, PJ Harvey) and the Grammy Award winning producer Ben Allen (Gnarls Barkley, Deer Hunter, and the producer of Walking Like We Do).
