Lost in the Static: Why MOS’s “Last Summer” is the Perfect Soundtrack for a Season That Never Ends
9/10 (Deducting one point only because it ends, and I wish it looped forever.) MOS- Last Summer
Is “Last Summer” sad? Yes. Is it beautiful? Absolutely. Lost in the Static: Why MOS’s “Last Summer”
Instead, he introduces a single, lonely saxophone line. It drifts in and out of tune, like a ghost walking through the party. This isn’t the song you dance to. This is the song you listen to on the drive home from the party, when the adrenaline has worn off and you’re left with just the silence and the streetlights. Absolutely
What makes “Last Summer” different from the thousand other “summer nostalgia” tracks on Spotify is the tension. MOS refuses to give you a drop. Just when you expect the hi-hats to speed up and the energy to explode into a festival anthem, he pulls the rug out.
