Feature: South Summit – The Bliss
Offering unique perspectives and observations on life, ‘The Bliss’ debut album from South Summit encapsulates the band’s wide-ranging influences and air-tight song writing abilities. The impact of this album as being a statement of intent from the group was not lost on the band.
From album opener ‘Take Me Down’, to the pop-flecked standout ‘Catacombs’ and decadent moments of pure jamming in ’Holy Cascade’ & ‘We Are Lions’, this is an album that is unafraid to level up and take South Summit outside their comfort zone.
The focus track for the album ‘Exceptional’ is one of many standouts on the album – blending genres perfectly as the band continue to expand their sonic palette.
“A massive inspiration for this chorus was Outkast, the little twang they use. They were a massive inspiration for this song and when we went into the studio, we had that in mind; experimenting with different things. They experimented so much with a lot of their tunes too, so we took that when we went into this. Josh and I made the first recording, the demo; it was cool to dive into different inspirations and then different characters for this song. It was cool.”
