Montreal duo Desire return with new single, ‘Summer Skin’, the first glimpse of their upcoming album Physical, out later this year via Italians Do It Better.
The iconic duo, composed of Megan Louise and Johnny Jewel, are known for their cinematic synth-pop, soundtracking heartbreak, new love, and late nights. Desire share the following about the upcoming album:
“Physical is about falling in love with life again. The people around you, the music you’re listening to, the sunlight on your skin, the moments you wish could last forever.”
‘Summer Skin’ sets the tone for the album, a euphoric preview of what’s to come and the perfect soundtrack for upcoming summer nights.
“‘Summer Skin’ opens with the sound of light from our nearest star dancing across the water. Yesterday is here to stay…That cyclical motif echoes the past lives we all carry with us, but each day is new & anything is possible. Summer brings us a recurring romantic optimism. Let’s celebrate & live in the moment. If the world feels like it’s ending…Turn the radio on & dance. Drip Drip…”
Johnny Jewel
