Pixel version of the album cover for Endless Summer by Sóley

Endless Summer
Sóley

Though named "Endless Summer," the pallid blues and twinkling piano of this album to me always seem to indicate snow--the lacy, fragile beauty of winter. I can't say whether this irony was intended, but I can say that contradictions make up the emotional skeleton of this work. The desire to protect mixes bittersweetly with the knowledge of one's own inevitably temporary life, itself a mirror of lost histories... She describes these songs as hopeful, but it is a hope limited by context; summer cannot, after all, last endlessly. Without the risk of fading, beauty (joy) loses meaning.
