Premiere: Renshaw Davies say goodbye to "Summertime"
 

http://media2.fdncms.com/gambit/imag..._cover2-01.jpg Innocence lost,*painful nostalgia and terrible heat ? the hallmarks of summer. New Orleans songwriting duo Renshaw Davies (John Renshaw and Emily Davies) kiss off the season with*"Summertime," the songwriting duo's first single from their upcoming EP The Heat.

The EP follows the band's dusty folk conjuring Fleetwood Mac and Van Morrison on 2015's 7-inch single*?Auctioneer? and ?Goin? Down the Road," loose and carefully arranged acoustic rambles braced with gentle, haunting harmonies.

"Summertime" amends the band's roots with a dry melancholy and creeping synth underneath a singing lap steel.*Carson Thielen of The Kid Carsons and Bear America Records recorded the band.*"It is a departure from our regular sound that we've been crafting with a lot of help from Carson," Renshaw tells Gambit.?
