Gurr – Hot Summer
Laura Lee and Andreya Casablanca both studied North America Studies in their home town Berlin in 2011. Laura used to walk around with a Joy Division tote back, and Andreya had a Ramones one, so they became friends. A year later they decided to start a band.
Hot Summer is their new single. It may sound like a summer celebration, but in fact it’s an anti-summer song. Gurr says about the song: “We wrote the song on a very grey day in London and I think this added to us focusing on the darker sides of summer. (…) It’s a celebration of the imperfect summer, and everyday neurosis.”
Hot Summer is equal parts Bangles and The Breeders.
