If the not-so-subtle hints of humidity were not enough,the release of iji’s Whatever Will Happen officially signals the beginning of summer. Although the record was not necessarily created during the sunny season, but rather over a year of, “touring house shows, taqueria’s, and gas stations,” as the band’s founder Zarch Burba told us. Nonetheless, Whatever Will Happen elicits a distinctly positive attitude that evokes nostalgic associations of wet skin drying in the sun, sleepy days, and icy beverages.
Whatever Will Happen will be released June 2 via Team Love, but you may stream it here now.
