Seasonal has always felt like a band for autumn days with a chill in the air, but "In the Dark with the Light On" seems especially right for the moment, perhaps because it mentions Halloween.
I first reviewed Seasonal back in 2017. Because Spotify had another band mixed up with theirs, my review accidentally took in an album that was not theirs:

I made updates, but I felt bad and determined that I would review them again. A new album released earlier this year (and me doing reviews again) makes this a good time.
The Summers To Come is a solid continuation of their previous work, music that quietly gets under your skin before you have even realized it.
Tinged with melancholy, it is made more poignant knowing that the band has experienced the loss of their singer since recording, and knowing the losses that many of us have experienced in the recent past.
However, even right now, with summer recently departed, there remains the promise of more summers to come, and good things that happen with the fall and throughout the year.
I have faith that Seasonal can adapt, and I wish them well.
