Naming your tilt at (Northern Hemisphere) summer anthem ubiquity, “Summer” is so fucking lazy it’s almost genius. EDM bangers are all about the drop and the vocal hook, and Harris is phoning in both here on Summer. I know this track isn’t for critical appraisal – it’s for being wankered on googs while fist-pumping with mates (a worthwhile pursuit as any, I guess), or a passive soundtrack for that nine-to-five grind, subconsciously triggering a slight blissful gurn. It’s no Sweet Nothing, it’s no Avicii genre-subversion, but it’s pretty much a lock as one Australia’s 2014-2015 summer smash by sheer default.
