This week on The Kimi Kato Show, we’re diving into the sunny, nostalgic world of Summer Salt—the trop-pop duo known for their laid-back melodies and timeless charm. We’ll be catching up with the band to talk about their roots, their evolving sound, and what lies ahead—don’t miss this intimate conversation!

‍

Trop-pop duo Summer Salt—singer/guitarist Matthew Terry and drummer Eugene Chung—formed in the early 2010s after moving from Dallas to Austin, Texas. Their 2014 debut Driving To Hawaii quickly gained traction with its blend of youthful escapism and vintage pop influences like doo wop and bossa nova.

‍

They followed up with Happy Camper (2018), Honeyweed (2019), and Avenue G (2020), building a global fanbase and surpassing a million monthly Spotify listeners. After 2021’s Sequoia Moon and 2023’s Campanita, they return this June with their fifth album, Electrolytes, produced by Carlos de la Garza (Paramore, Ziggy Marley).

‍

The new record marks their first LP with touring members Winston Triolo and Anthony Barnett, and showcases a confident, concise sound that reflects on adult life with optimism and clarity. A decade in, Summer Salt continues to evolve while staying true to their warm, nostalgic spirit.
