Mason Summit’s latest single, “Bystander”, is a powerful protest song that tackles themes of privilege and complicity with striking honesty. Released on July 12, the track is inspired by the ongoing atrocities in Gaza and reflects Summit’s deep connection to his Jewish heritage. The song’s poignant lyrics are underscored by jangly guitars, spacey synths, and an insistent beat reminiscent of late-’90s Wilco and Elliott Smith.
Collaborating with Jarren Heidelberg on drums, Summit skillfully handles all other instruments, creating a cohesive and impactful sound. We really like this song and its profound message. Make sure to follow Mason Summit on social media for more updates and new music.
