Summer Salt's music feels like a perfect summer day—warm, breezy, and full of good feelings. Starting as a small duo, they've grown their sound over the years, adding layers like Anthony Barnett's smooth guitar and Winston Triolo's deep basslines. Their songs are light and airy but stick with you, like salt on your skin after a day at the beach.
They mix chill trop-pop, old-school doo-wop, laid-back bossa nova, and cozy bedroom pop into something uniquely their own. There's no flashy gimmicks—just honest, easy-to-love melodies that feel like hanging out with close friends.
Summer Salt doesn't try to be the loudest or most complicated band out there. Instead, their music is the kind you put on when you want to relax or remember good times. It's not in your face, but you'd miss it if it were gone—like that pinch of salt that makes everything taste better.
They started with Driving to Hawaii (2014), a dreamy escape into sunny melodies. Happy Camper (2018) felt like a nostalgic road trip, while Avenue G (2020) was a love letter to their roots. Sequoia Moon (2021) was quieter but just as bright, like moonlight through the trees.
Campanita (2023) was their most personal work—a tender tribute to family and loss. Now, with Electrolytes (2024), they're back with a refreshed sound, light and uplifting like a morning pick-me-up.
Even as they play bigger shows, Summer Salt keeps that small, intimate feel—like they're just jamming in a living room. They don't follow trends or rush their music. Instead, they let it grow naturally, like salt forming in the sun.
No big speeches, no over-the-top production. Just good songs for easy days. And no matter where they go, they always bring that sunny, salty vibe with them.
