DJ/producer duo Orang Utan is ready to cook things slow and low with a heater warm weather burner — “Summer Simmer.” A collaboration with indie-pop artist West Rose, “Summer Simmer” captures the essence of a sun-drenched late July day, blending elements of pop, house and new wave into a carefree sing-a-long. There’s plenty of new wave touches in this slow-brewed indie dance gem – complete with big kicks and a persistent reverb that swirls around West Rose’s top line. And it’s Rose that steals the show with her sugary-sweet vocals bolstered by Organ Utan’s dynamic soundscapes and space-y flourishes. “Summer Simmer” is fun, dynamic, and energetic. A windows-down drive anthem that you can’t help but get caught up in.
