The Transits are, and they've raised their sound to new heights on "Ghosts of Summer," the first single from their forthcoming sophomore full-length. This trio, with members from two different corners of the globe, shows that with the right attitude, any distance can be bridged when making music that speaks to listeners everywhere.
"Ghosts of Summer" is the anthem for a condensing moment, an electrifying charge of melody and feeling that distilled the pain of time slipping away. The song pulls you in from the opening notes, lush instrumentation, anthemic chorus, and interlaced dual vocals evoke the summers of a past era, with memories you can't quite grasp. There's an undeniable warmth to the track but an undercurrent of melancholy that makes it feel both exhilarating and deeply contemplative.
The band's wider sound is immediately recognizable, reaching past their roots with broad synths, propulsive rhythms, and sky-high harmonies. The production is crisp, dynamic, and layered, cupping it all in an immersive sound that's familiar and new at once.
The song comes with a stunning video that adds visual depth to the song's themes. With dreamlike imagery, golden-hued nostalgia, and a cinematic touch, it's something to feel. The video amplifies the song's introspective vibe, and it's impossible not to get sucked into its evocative narrative.
With "Ghosts of Summer," The Transits are creating moments long after the final chord has faded away. If this single is an indication, their forthcoming album will be something special.
