Caged Animals will be releasing a wonderful 5 track EP on June 11, called This Summer EP, more details here . The title track of the EP ,”This Summer I’ll Make It Up To You,”, is a romantic vision of Summer imagined but never lived. Mr CagedAnimals, Vincent Cacchione, trades in hopeful couplets, promising to take the song’s subject to an idealized West Coast “where the sun is always shining,” a terminally East Coast perspective on the California Dream. In its final verse, the narrator of Cacchione’s fraudulent summer begins to see through his own lie, realizing this ideal impossible and resigning himself and his lover to a trip “to the Jersey shore, if nothing better works out.”
The video for the track, directed by Ace Norton, beautifully compliments the song’s message and aesthetics and is premiered today on Stereogum.
