Alae Unveil Single 'Summer Thing' + Video

Tamaki Makaurau's Alae deliver a love letter to summer goths with 'Summer Thing', the latest teaser for the four piece's upcoming, as-yet-untitled EP dropping in June. Accompanied by an amusingly doomy beachside clip directed by duo Vision Thing, the effervescent single puts a little sparkle in your step with hook-heavy yet featherlight grooves and soulful wordplay gesturing beyond seasonal romance. Vision Thing shared their excitement for the visual collaboration with Alae...

“This song is so catchy we’re pretty sure it’s going make even Goths want to dance on the beach. So that’s the idea we pitched to the band: a male goth trying to win over a female goth with a sick song and some slick moves. We’re really proud of this video.

These guys are amazing to work with. They’re as chill and trusting as they are talented. Pretty sure they’re going to be kings of the world in the not too distant future.”

'Summer Thing' is out now via all digital streaming outlets.
