New Music: Pet Owner – After Summer

Swiss musician Pet Owner has followed up her FOMU single with the glitchy dreamscapes of After Summer.

Another glimpse into the world of her upcoming Second Nature album, After Summer finds colour and warmth not just in its vibrant autumnal notes, but also in the delicate and fluid fusion of hyperpop elements and a folkish vocal delivery.

Drawing out parallels between the natural world around us, the hidden chemistry of our bodies, and how the former affects the latter may seem a complex topic for a song, yet it comes across as so organic, so effortless, you absorb it as easily as your skin does with the rays of the sun. The twist comes, however, as the lyrics outline that, yet echo the thought that the subject of the song seemingly, sadly, feels little of that joy.

Second Nature is set for release in early 2026. After Summer can be downloaded on Bandcamp and streamed on YouTube and Spotify. For album news, be sure to follow Pet Owner over on Instagram.
