“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me… an Invincible Summer”
- Albert Camus
After spending the Australian summer in the chill of the northern hemisphere, Sydney based multi-instrumentalist Matt James returned home with a vision to establish a musical collective entitled The Invincible Summer, inspired by French author Albert Camus’ quote which he saw scrawled on the side of his Darlinghurst hall upon his return to Australia.
Runaway is the debut single from the forthcoming self-titled debut LP, due in store early 2013.
Teaming up with good friend and producer extraordinaire Tim Carr (Matt Corby / Mark Ronson / The Herd / Jonathan Boulet / Ernest Ellis / INXS) and a host of Sydney’s finest musicians including guest appearances by Mat Gardner & Benjamin Morgan (Ernest Ellis & The Panamas), Zac Haider-Keene and more, Runaway and To the Sky were recorded at Sydney’s iconic Studios 301 over an eighteen month period.
In James’ words, “We don’t watch tv, read books, or do crosswords. This leaves lots of time for hanging out in the city and by the ocean, playing music, thinking, planning global conquest, and having fun.”
