It’s the band’s best trick: Feeling both classic and fresh – and it’s completely natural to them. They remain very much themselves, riding on vintage style, gorgeous vocal harmonies, and an effortless sense of rock ‘n’ roll cool, both timeless and a band out of time.

Eddie Japan’s latest EP, The Amorous Adventures of Edward Japan, played with heat and light in ways that captured joy, lust, and what’s revealed in the absence of shadow, especially on songs such as “Summer Hair” and “The Dandy of Suburbia.”

Big Takeover is pleased to host the premiere of the music video for “Summer Hair,” a captivating track that resonates with deep feeling and sound.

“Summer Hair” is a sweeping, yet bittersweet nostalgic summer anthem highlighting the group’s penchant for ’70s surf rock with modern indie rock sensibilities.

The video clip is set on the shoreline of Scarborough Beach during twilight hours, conjuring up a sensual image – beautiful in the current moment, but painful in reflective memory.
