The Reflections :: "Summer Days"

Los Angeles band, The Reflections outline a tidy bit of nostalgia on debut single, "Summer Days." Like so many before them, there are hints of fatalism at the edges of their remembrance. To be so wistful on a recording is to admit you stand in the face of the dying world, or a dying world, a summer that turns carelessly to fall and then relentlessly into winter. "Summer Days" is a glossy pop song, pulsating organ chords and a serious acoustic guitar, a soft spot for thinking about girls who are no longer around and whatever else slipped through our collective fingers.
