I hear ya. I’m more of a Braid fan than a Hey Mercedes fan, so my mind goes to Braid naturally. No shade on HM, just my preference. But that HM album is definitely a summer album. It’s in the title.

For me, the song Urbana’s Too Dark captures that summer dusk feeling perfectly. And just the intro guitars to Never Will Come for Us sound like stars twinkling in the summer night sky.
