Babymorocco’s The Summer Fables is a very specific kind of trip: nostalgic, psychedelic and gleaming with electro-pop colour. There’s some Justice-style French electro, Junior Senior’s irrepressible dance-pop bounce, the sun-drunk synth-pop psychedelia of Empire of the Sun and the woozy, shape-shifting indie psych-pop of MGMT — all funnelled through Babymorocco’s own technicolour fever dream.

Released via his own PHATBOY label, the EP plays like one long, cohesive journey, with tracks bleeding into a hazy world of pulsing electronics, playful melodies and lyrics that feel half dream sequence, half summer romance. “If you like love come on into my garden / Everybody’s welcome into my garden,” he sings, inviting us deeper in before things inevitably get a little stranger.

‘Annoying’ remains our favourite — managing to be both gloriously stupid and completely irresistible — but there’s plenty more to get lost in here. Elsewhere, The Summer Fables turns darker and more surreal: “But now the sky is sinking / It’s dripping in my palm and / The flutes they started singing / A cherub sticks a pin in.” Exactly.

It’s psychedelic pop as a portal: bright, weird and nostalgic for a summer that may never have existed.
