Bilk have dropped their new indie-pop love song ‘Summer Days’

Essex trio Bilk have shared their new single ‘Summer Days’.

The track is taken from their upcoming album ‘Essex, Drugs and Rock and Roll’, due 24th January, and sees frontman Sol Abrahams reflecting on meeting his current partner.

“‘Summer Days’ is about when I met my now girlfriend for the first time in the summer,” he explains. “It tells the story of how we came to be together. I’d never really written love songs before so this was all new to me, but it came from a true place and it means a lot to me.”

‘Essex, Drugs and Rock and Roll’ follows the band’s 2018 debut, as well as their first EP ‘Chipped Out’ in 2019, their second EP ‘Allow It’ in 2021, and their self-titled debut album in 2023.
