For more than a decade, songwriter Claire Cuny and composer/producer Monte Weber have co-created the Brooklyn-born indie project first known as Reliant Tom and now re-imagined as My So-Called Summer. Blending Monte’s textural production with Claire’s sharp tongued lyrics and imaginative visuals, the duo carved out a singular space in the Brooklyn indie scene—one that lived equally onstage, onscreen, and in immersive performance environments. Now moving forward under the name My So-Called Summer, the project expands with the addition of longtime friend and collaborator Brendan Littlefield. Together, the trio carries forward the spirit of Reliant Tom—its curiosity, its risk-taking, its multi-disciplinary heartbeat—while opening a new chapter rooted in greater immediacy, brighter energy, and a renewed sense of creative freedom.
