Suffolk In The Sun by Boxwell reflects on a holiday spent with a summer love in the rural East of England. Images of stables on hills and dusty mirrors build the foundation for an ambience of intense absorption. The narrator reflects on the naïve bliss seductive during youth. The window eventually comes crashing in, breaking the bond and thus the illusion of permanence. The drum programming provides a refreshing drive to the Sufjan Stevens-esque folk motives introduced by the acoustic guitar. The layered synthesizers add warmth and harmonic excitement.
«Young love is such a funny thing, as it entirely consumes you for a short while. Years later, both the person and the context seem super absurd. Suffolk In The Sun is a testament to this».
