Tom Bandy & the Eternal Summer Break is a Swedish project led by a “shady guy with Lyme disease” who won our affection with the release of their new single “Under the Shadow of His Wings.”
The track captures the raw vibrancy and uplifting lush joy of New Order, with a lo-fi element that brings us back to the early 2010s scene of Brooklyn and a hopeful feeling in the air.
Or as they put it:
Manic, rascal-like and life-affirming song about the fireworks and tears as yet another lost boy, through a path where none of the law’s underlings can hurl their bloodhounds after him, finds his way to the loving arms of the brotherhood of boys, from the streets and institutions, led by the trickster figure Reynard the Fox, that in a camp of abandoned barracks in the forest, has created a sanctuary for suchs as themselves. (Part of a novel set to music.)
