Indie Rock and Trop-Pop duo Summer Salt have welcomed the summer with their new single and video “Take Carra Me.” The accompanying music video directed by Jack FitzWilliam creates a journey through a toybox version of San Francisco filled with bright colors.

The “stylized, simple world” of the video stands in contrast to the “increasingly fast-paced modern world” that makes the duo feel they need someone to take care of them. The song also evokes “a paradise where we all have the care we need.”

Singer/guitarist Matthew Terry says:

“Take Carra Me is an honest song about my relationship with music, and balancing it with my current adult life. 

It’s about the paradox of being scared and excited of what life will bring.

It’s about these days of early mornings and late nights, and frustrations with ideas of crafty perfectionism when time isn’t something that’s free anymore.

It’s about being fast in order to keep up with a world of music that’s been created.

It’s about needing someone to slow me down, take over, take care of me and remind me all is good.”

On July 19th, 2024, Summer Salt will release their fifth LP, Electrolytes, via their new record label AWAL. The album was produced by Carlos de la Garza (Paramore, Cherry Glazerr, Cold War Kids), and it will release ahead of the ten-year anniversary of their debut album’s release Driving to Hawaii in the Fall.

To support the release of Electrolytes and to support the 10-year anniversary of their debut album Driving To Hawaii, the band will embark on a six-week tour in North America starting September 5 in Houston at the Last Concert Café.
