Summer

The debut single from Ash's female quarter, Charlotte Hatherley, is a sumptuous sunshine anthem that crosses the breathless indie pop of Belly with the 60s girl-group genius of bands like the Shangri Las. Taken from her magnificent debut album 'Grey Will Fade', 'Summer' proves that Hatherley's gift for power pop is equal to that of her bandmate Tim Wheeler. Marvelous stuff. The title track is b/w two non-LP tracks, 'Commodore' & 'S.M.U.T.'. Double Dragon. 2004.
