Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends return with a bold and beautiful piece in their 12-minute track, “Summer’s Gate”. As the final song on their double album “17 Birds at the Summer’s Gate”, it feels like a cinematic farewell, it’s filled with emotion, depth and purpose. This isn’t your average song, it’s more like an experience and a masterpiece. The atmosphere slowly builds with thoughtful lyrics and melodies that echo with the spirit of 70s epics, especially for those who love more emotional and story-like tracks.
The mix is clean, the instrumentation is tight and the bluesy guitar solo near the end by Daniel Lagerlöf is simply stunning and added the most perfect touch we could ever ask for. The vocals are rich and full of feeling, perfectly guiding you through the song’s evolving landscape. With this track, the band truly made me a fan. It’s a song you live through, not just listen to. A haunting and powerful piece that stays with you long after it ends.
