Remember Summer — Northern Irish-born, London-based Paddy Conn, a member of Swimming Tapes and English-born vocalist Angelina Dove — can trace their origins back to 2016 when the duo worked at a Forest Gate, London-based cafe. The duo started making up songs to pass the days toiling in a hot kitchen. “Summer of ‘16 became the year of collaboration for Paddy and I. We started swapping ideas at work,” Dove recalls. “It all started as a bit of fun really, sort of a distraction to stem boredom but when the cafe went bust the following year and we both got fired we realised that we’d started something we missed more than frying eggs. Since we live 5 minutes away from each other we’ve kept it up.”

Bonding over a mutual indulgence for worlds gone by, the London-based duo pair dusty synths and wistful poetry to create nostalgia-drenched take on dream pop.

The London-based duo’s latest single sees them tackling Miley Cyrus‘ 2013 hit “Wrecking Ball.” Dove and Conn pairing the original’s cathartic and rousingly anthemic hooks and choruses with a brooding and dusty soundscape of strummed, reverb-soaked guitar, glistening and atmospheric synths serving as lush bed for Dove’s pop star wailing (whci is also doused in a bit of reverb). The end result is a Still Corners-meets-Stevie Nicks-like take on a familiar song, creating a vintage hue to a modern pop anthem.

“Metaphorically spot on; I think I’m an ‘exploding doormat’ personality type. A really long fuse, but once it’s lit…Wrecking Ball resonated with me, I feel like I’ve been there,” Remember Summer’s Angelina Dove says of the cover. “The explosions, the disappointment, indifference even.”

Edited by Baby Dove, the accompanying video for Remember Summer’s “Wrecking Ball” features clips from 1967’s Bonnie & Clyde superimposed over some gorgeously shot footage of Dove in a gorgeous white dress in the desert.
