Sun-Drenched Sadness with a Stylophone Smile
Lucas Floyd, the mind and soul behind Faith in Foxholes, spins summer into something far more layered in his track “Summertime.” Sure, the title might have you expecting ice-cream-and-fireworks vibes, but don’t be fooled—this isn’t your average sunny anthem. It’s more like a polaroid from a hazy afternoon you almost forgot, slightly bent at the edges and soaked in bittersweet memory.
The song kicks off with a groove that feels deceptively simple—jangly guitars, lo-fi beats, and that signature Stylophone shimmer that gives everything a vaguely vintage glow. But listen closer, and you’ll feel the ache under the surface. Floyd has a gift for wrapping melancholy in melody, for dancing on the edge of something deeper without dragging you down.
His vocals aren’t flashy—they’re intimate, conversational, almost like he’s singing more to himself than to an audience. But that’s what makes it work. There’s a quiet resignation in the way he delivers lines about love and loss, like someone tracing the outlines of a wound that’s finally stopped bleeding.
“Summertime” doesn’t try to blow you away—it creeps in. It settles into your bones, tapping out its rhythm on some quiet part of your memory. It’s nostalgic without being naïve, catchy without being cliché. And honestly? It’s the kind of track you find yourself humming long after the sun’s gone down.
