Antwerp-based producer and musician Lukas Somers returns with ‘En Verano’, a slow-burning instrumental unveiled as the first glimpse of his forthcoming EP 'Suite', due 28 March via Capitane Records.
The track plays like the opening scene to a film that doesn’t yet exist - a nocturnal western sketched entirely in sound.
Best known for his songwriting project Solak, Somers shifts here into a more cinematic register. Written during freeform sessions at Studio Sobrak in Ghent, ‘En Verano’ drifts patiently across a sparse, sun-scorched soundscape. Inspired by the Perseids meteor shower, its atmosphere evokes an endless prairie at night: suspended, solitary, quietly vast.
Central to the track’s narrative pull is the restrained percussion of Adam Bradley Schreiber (Hermanos Gutiérrez, C.W. Stoneking, Timber Timbre). His measured drumming adds subtle propulsion, lending the piece the feel of a slow tracking shot across open terrain.
Across 'Suite', Somers explores three instrumental movements shaped by intuition and space, drawing influence from leftfield pioneers like Tom Zé and Talk Talk. If ‘En Verano’ is the first frame, it suggests a project less concerned with plot than mood, inviting us to project our own stories into its wide, unspoken horizon.
