London psychedelic trio The Stingrays return with new single ‘Summer of You,’ a track that captures their offbeat charm and tight musical chemistry. Made up of Hector Delicious, George van den Broek and Milo Goldsmith, the band lean into humor, British eccentricity and years of shared history to build a sound that feels both playful and deeply seasoned.
‘Summer of You’ begins as a relaxed groove, laid-back and warm, before erupting into a sharp, breakneck guitar solo in its closing stretch. The shift feels earned, a release that highlights their control as players. It is a song that moves through light and shadow without losing its sense of character.
“Summer Of You is a song about melancholy around heartbreak and new beginnings. The need to move on from a person or a ‘summer’ despite its warmth and light. Saying that although the summer is a lovely time, it has to come to an end and give way to the next season, as is only natural. That all good things must come to an end no matter how much you don’t want them to,” the band explain.
The trio have been playing together for nearly a decade, first touring globally from the age of 16 under George van den Broek’s Yellow Days project. A sold-out summer residency on Brick Lane in East London sharpened their live dynamic, and a recent praised performance at Live At Leeds reinforced their growing reputation. With ‘Summer of You,’ The Stingrays continue shaping their own colorful corner of modern psychedelia.
