Description
Seven years on from the release of Time Between Us, London songwriter TrentMiller returns with his fifth album. Summer Was Cold That Year carries on the trajectory set by its predecessor, which saw Miller begin to emerge from the darkness that overshadowed his first three albums Cerberus (2009),Welcome To Inferno Valley (2011) and Burnt Offerings (2014), towards a hopeful glimmer on the horizon, a new maturity in songwriting and a more refined and pop-oriented sound.
The album was recorded at Rogue Studios in London between 2019 and 2024. Produced and arranged by GrahamKnight of Simple Kid and Orphan Colours, the album also features guitarist Fred Abbott (Noah And The Whale, Jamie Lawson, Tom Chaplin, Cassyette, Charlotte OC, Jeremy Loops, Megan McKenna), and drummer Steve Brookes (Danny and the Champions of the World).
Born and raised in the countryside of north-western Italy, fuelled by dreams of rock’n’roll, Miller made his way to London as a youth, joining the just-blooming Americana circuit. Carrying with him the dual influence of the Beatles and darkly troubled songwriters like Gene Clark, Jeffrey Lee Pierce and ThinWhite Rope’s Guy Kyser, he made his recorded debut on the album Hidden Desert, a tribute to the latter much missed Northern Californians. Releasing his debut Cerberus himself, he later signed up with the recording arm of highly-regarded underground magazine, Bucketfull Of Brains, with whom he released his next three albums.
