Nashville, Tenn., June 2, 2008 – Though he’s just over 30, Jon Foreman’s lyrics
sound like words of wisdom from a man who has learned several lifetimes’ worth of lessons. Although he has sold millions of
albums and performed for countless sold out crowds with his band Switchfoot, Jon is a man still journeying towards
self-discovery, unafraid of questioning anything in his path. Through a series of seasonally themed solo EPs, Jon shows a
whole new side to his artistry that falls outside the Switchfoot aesthetic. “Because of the autobiographical nature of these
songs, they became a self portrait that was far too personal for a band to release,” Jon explains.
The latest installment, Summer, opens with “A Mirror is Harder to Hold,” a track that wholly reflects this sentiment. This final installment might be his most personal yet musically varied of the four EPs. Jon wistfully sings about the struggles of examining one’s self over sunny acoustic guitar strumming and the warm mariachi-esque horns that color several tracks on the album. “Again” is a slow-burning, contemplative ballad and an affirmation of Jon’s beliefs. Summer also includes “Resurrect Me,” the most up-tempo tune of the series. The track has an east-meets-west flavor with its driving rock beat and sitar-like guitar lines.
Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer each serve as a chapter of Jon’s stripped down, intimate and direct vision. It is one that begins with a foray into death and decay, but eventually transforms into reflections on growth and rebirth. All four discs were produced by Jon Foreman with Grammy-nominated Charlie Peacock serving as the executive producer.
As Summer is about to release, the song “The Cure For Pain,” from Fall, was used in the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy. Additionally, “This Is Home” was written and recorded by Switchfoot for the Walt Disney Studios and Walden Media theatrical release, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, which became the No. 1 movie at the box office. The song is heard over the end title credits of the film, and appears on the Original Walt Disney Records Soundtrack CD, the No. 1-selling soundtrack at iTunes.
