“100 Summers” opens a deeper chapter for Rainbow Kitten Surprise | A bold, emotional step toward their new album
With the release of their newest single “100 Summers,” Rainbow Kitten Surprise offer an emotionally charged preview of their upcoming album bones, set to arrive September 26 via Atlantic Records. True to their reputation for pushing musical boundaries, the band delivers a track steeped in raw honesty, powerful lyricism, and a soul-stirring vocal performance from frontwoman Ela Melo.
The single arrives alongside a cinematic music video and a statement that positions the song as one of the band’s most deeply personal works yet. “This is more raw than just about anything I’ve ever written, so, yeah, I sat there and cried with it for a second,” Melo shares. “You know when you’re able to talk about hard shit because you’ve already had to deal with it, and so now the healing of it is what’s coming up…”
“100 Summers” blends introspective storytelling with the band’s signature genre-defying sound, fusing alt-rock energy with subtle folk-pop textures. The result is an anthem that’s just as intimate as it is anthemic—perfectly setting the tone for the rest of bones. 
As anticipation builds for the album, Rainbow Kitten Surprise continues their Thanks For Coming Tour across North America, including a sold-out return to Red Rocks Amphitheatre—their fourth time filling the iconic venue. The band’s tour also spotlights a charitable initiative through the Rainbow Kitten Surprise Fund in partnership with PLUS1, contributing to LGBTQ+ rights, mental health access, and food sovereignty.
With international shows in Australia, the UK, and Ireland on the horizon, “100 Summers” reminds fans why Rainbow Kitten Surprise remains one of the most captivating and emotionally driven acts of their generation.
