Vancouver Indie Rock band The Long War, fronted by Jarrett Lee accompanied by Chad Gilmour (guitar / vocals), Jess Lee (keyboards / vocals), Neil Williamson (drums) and Jonny Battistuzzi (bass) – are releasing their official music video for their new single entitled “Endless Summer”. Endless Summer was recorded in 2019 at Protection Island Studios in Maple Ridge, BC. It was Produced, mixed, and engineered by Jonathan Anderson and mastered by Harris Newman at Greymarket Mastering.
“Endless Summer” was written in the summer of 2018. The track feels like a cathartic break up anthem. It is about the pain of losing someone and dealing with that loss while being stuck in a summer that felt like it would never end. There was a heatwave and Vancouver felt crazier than usual.
“Endless Summer” is the summer anthem the world needs right now; it balances nostalgia and heartbreak without being a melancholy. Throughout the entire track there is a drive, it crescendos, and fades out leaving the listener with the sweet taste of summer. The layered, honest vocals are the perfect compliment to the booming instrumentals that are never overpowering. This song will sure find its way onto the best Indie Rock Summer playlists.
The Long War is a shared battle story between five people who have each fought to actualize their dream of becoming musicians, they are proof that the journey is worth the war. Formed in Vancouver, The Long War won the 2017 CBC Searchlight Contest and have been featured on CBC First Play, Q with Tom Power and Canadian Musician Magazine.
