Arctic Wave is more than just a music group; it is the very personal project of C.L. Turner, a musician and storyteller from Austin. Turner has had a hard life story that included sad times\u2014losing his mother, the suicide of close friends, and struggles with addiction and divorce. He uses these personal challenges and general cultural stress to create big, movie-like music. His music explores deep feelings like being vulnerable, bouncing back from trouble, and changing for the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After meeting Will Hensley, a Grammy-winning producer, Turner quickly put together a skilled band. They have now released three full albums quickly and are working on a fourth, showing Arctic Wave is a serious band that makes rock music that feels both lasting and real.
Now, Arctic Wave steps into a sunny style with their newest single, “Summertime.” This is a strong pop\/R&B song that uses a modern, clean sound made for easy, carefree listening. The music is built on a bright, steady rhythm that quickly lifts your mood. The production features a sharp, clear drum machine and a smooth, electronic bassline that holds the beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along with this base, shining, high-pitched electronic sounds and light, floating vocal chops create a feeling of warmth and space\u2014just like the first perfect day of a long break. The song is kept simple and open, allowing the steady, driving beat to push the music forward easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
