Melbourne buzzing duo Indian Summer releases the new track Love Like This feat. Lastlings, a relaxed house jam that took nearly two years to craft.
While driving to the airport the duo fell in love with a vocalist they heard on the radio. Failing to Shazam the song in time they were unable to figure out who they were. A month later they heard the same song again at a house party and after finding out who they were it was by happenstance the band were friends of friends. With that, they enlisted Amy of Lastlings, a perfect voice for a perfect song.
Having several guest mix appearances on Triple J, Indian Summer have a string of performances lined up for December.
