Sound

"Summer", like "Spring", is a departure from the somber tones of "Fall" or "Winter". Featuring a more "San Diego campfire"-esque tone, this ep reflects the fruition of life that comes in the summertime. "Resurrect Me" is the biggest anomaly to the Foreman EP sound, featuring upbeat drum patterns, some electric guitar accompaniment, and even doubletracked vocals.
