Scottish alternative rock band Desert Kites capture youth, unease, and emotional fallout on “Summer Light,” a cinematic single that drifts between beauty and reckoning. Built on chiming guitars and wide, swelling melodies, the song draws from the reflective side of Brit rock and alternative traditions, pairing nostalgia with a sharpened sense of urgency. Lyrically, it wrestles with societal greed, environmental collapse, and shared indifference, yet never loses its human core, offering moments of resolve amid the haze. Formed in Dundee during lockdown by songwriter and guitarist Shaleph O’Neill, alongside drummer Michael Szeremet and bassist and engineer Stuart Hanna, Desert Kites favor poetic imagery over straight narrative, letting feeling and texture guide each movement. “Summer Light” lands as a reflective and affecting statement, one that lingers like the last glow before night fully settles in.
