Endless Summer is an album by Fennesz, released on 3 July 2001 by Mego. It was reissued in 2006 with two bonus tracks and new cover art. Like most of Fennesz's other works, it focuses heavily on digitally manipulated electric guitar sounds, but with a much stronger emphasis on melodies and pop-like composition than on his previous releases. Endless Summer shares its title with a 1974 Beach Boys compilation album. It was named the 41st best album of the decade by Resident Advisor,[6] 14th by Tiny Mix Tapes,[7] and 26th by Pitchfork Media.[8]
