sittingthesummerout Announce Sophomore EP ‘Brick and Mortar’

Italian quintet sittingthesummerout have announced their sophomore EP Brick and Mortar will be out December 1st via Ghost Factory Records & Arts. “This is the real beginning for us. We put out a first EP just months after we started the band – we love it, but it was mostly just three of us trying to figure out what we wanted”, explains vocalist Samir Batista. “At this point, after two years, we’ve consolidated a lineup that feels final, and put together five songs that are us in every way. Our feet are glued to the ground, of course, but we do feel we’re onto something.”

As Batista further details: “we built it from scratch; every drop of sweat went into making something we’d be happy with, and we did some work on ourselves in the meantime too.” 

The vocalist’s US trip was also the influence for the EP’s lead single “Nothing Changes In Baltimore”, which is available to stream below. The first track written upon his return home, it was inspired by a bus journey from New York to Virginia: “We were driving through Baltimore – possibly the gloomiest city on earth in my eyes – when I came to the realization that you can always run from your problems but they’ll never stop following you.”
