With their latest EP summer nights, The Millennial Club elegantly invites us to join them in what sounds like an amplified realm filled with romance and imagination. We are all dreamers. This EP encourages listeners to dwell in the longing for butterfly feelings and unforgettable nights with a lover.

The So-Cal boys of The Millennial Club are charming. Underneath their indie pop exterior is a band so masterful at soulfulness, while simultaneously producing catchy hooks. The band's songwriting focuses on moments, but I mean really sees and feels them for all that they are or were. In our everyday lives, it's all too easy to move a mile a minute. We sometimes forget to appreciate the little things that are essential to our happiness. The Millennial Club deep dives this. Their lyrics gorgeously portray the uncertainty of love, broken promises, and the beauty found in tiny moments and intimacy.

The EP is so infectious not just because of its dreamy pop melodies (although those are seriously spot on) but also for it being so confessional. The lead vocalist, Andres Owens, says that as artists, "We have to create, express, mold, shape, shift, contort, and most importantly, release the emotions and ideas within us. summer nights embodies a true and honest version of ourselves captured over the course of many little moments throughout our lifetime." How the boys of The Millennial Club open their hearts completely make them comparable to other emotion-evoking artists like joan, LANY, The 1975, and Valley.

The EP comes with 6 tracks. The first, "i wish i could tell u," is a wonderful introduction that sets the mood for the entirety of the record. Then comes "like i do," which "embodies a pivotal timestamp and authentic snapshot of the moment you build up enough courage to be upfront with a love interest you've always had romantic feelings for" because for years "it was perhaps buried and even ignored internally altogether," according to Andres Owens. "girls that ain't u" is worth highlighting for how it's way more jazz-influenced and hip-hop-esque. It has an undeniably smooth effect. Andres Owens says that the incessantly restless nature of finishing a song oftentimes convinces the band that they're never completely "finished." After they concluded writing "girls that ain't u," they decided to add a section that embodied a more abstract ambiance that was less structured. The final track, "anymore," is the iteration of this.

Other accolades to mention are the fact that to date, the band has opened for Conan Gray, Charlotte Lawrence, Hippie Sabotage, Katelyn Turner, MOONZz, and Quinn XCII. Not that I even know the boys of The Millennial Club on a personal level, but I feel proud of them. Their EP summer nights is a wonderfully romantic gift of getting lost in the music and feeling. I am certain that The Millennial Club has even greater success to come!
