On “M4U”, The Rocket Summer is able to create something emotive and rich, all while having a robust backing instrumentation that will stand up to repeat plays. The production is able to put a spotlight on each constituent element here, from the guitars to the vox and to the crunchier synth size of things. M4U’s beat will be tattooed deeply into the minds and hearts of listeners. The passion and charisma of the song ensures that it will garner considerable wordplay throughout pop and alternative rock playlists. The bit of an edge that bubbles through at points during M4U further separates it from other performers’ work.
We interviewed The Rocket Summer all the way back in 2007 and covered their Hello, Good Friend in 2005.
