"bring me / after / summer has past / too fast ..."
The serendipitous colliding metamorphosis of bedroom / lo-fi / emotronica / folk and maybe even 80's new age of "After Summer" by Lucerne, Switzerland's Pet Owner (love that name), is a lot of things, the sum of which is easy to fall in love with. An ostensibly solo project of singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist Lea Mathis, this track is a gorgeous blend of dreaminess graced with melancholia, ambient pop atmospheres that feels centered in an acoustic kind of guitar picking organica while wrapped in synthetic sounds and indie compressed beats. So an, at once, soft but edgy frame work for Mathis' vocal countenance that are bathed with vulnerability and an earnest passion for telling stories that have the ability to move you.
"solar power / I can feel the / hidden every cell of my body..."
LINER NOTES (excerpted / bracketed):
[Pet Owner adores the summer. But now it’s over.
With the single After Summer, the Swiss musician dives deep into the universe of her upcoming album. The hyperfolk ballad is a close-up of the end-time pop feeling: wanting to sense it all, yet feel nothing.]
"After Summer" exists in the past, present and future. Melancholia and youthful hope holding hands and skipping along.

Pet Owner adores the summer. But now it’s over.
With the single After Summer, the Swiss musician dives deep into the universe of her upcoming album. The hyperfolk ballad is a close-up of the end-time pop feeling: wanting to sense it all, yet feel nothing.
Between deconstructed voice samples and futuristic synths, the piano and acoustic guitar mould a point of stillness. As the world keeps spinning relentlessly, the voice seeks a split second of silence. “Dancing on my own as if there’s no tomorrow.”
Between her debut Natural Behaviour (2022) and the forthcoming album, Pet Owner deliberately stepped outside the familiar, leaving her comfort zone in search of new inspiration. “Tunnel Eye” captures this restless forward motion — dreamy and disorienting — where clarity slips and the unexpected suddenly appears.
