British dream pop band Whitelands released a new song called Heat Of The Summer. The group opened for Slowdive on tour last year and put out an album called Night-bound Eyes Are Blind To The Day. Their latest track sounds light and dreamy but tells a heavy story about wanting change.
Singer Etienne Quartey-Papafio wrote the song about people joining forces to take down a bad leader. He started writing when he felt angry about Trump last summer. The Luigi Mangione incident where a CEO was killed gave him the push to finish the song. He also drew ideas from Spike Lee's movie Do The Right Thing.
The band made the song's meaning clear through heat as a symbol for growing anger and tension. Cameron Perry directed a simple music video that goes with the track. People can watch the video online right away.
