Matt Cutler returned last month with “Ascension.png,” his first new song as Lone in nearly two years. The British electronic producer is keeping up that momentum today with another new one called “Sickly, Sweetly Summer Movie,” which, respectfully, is an odd title to give a song you’re releasing in mid-November.
“Sickly, Sweetly Summer Movie”‘s enjoyability isn’t too dependent on warm weather, though, because it isn’t really concerned with the earth realm at all. In a message to his Bandcamp customers, Lone describes the song as “a warped lullaby that descends into a nightmare” evoking some “real fever dream vibes.” There are a lot of celestial synths at play, interrupted only by some nondescript vocals — “me, way past my bedtime,” Lone adds — before its final moments get ever-so-subtly darker.
