Endless Summer is an album by Austrian electronic music producer and guitarist Fennesz, released on 3 July 2001 by Mego. The title was derived from the 1960s surf documentary by Bruce Brown, and is also shared with a 1974 compilation album by the Beach Boys.[1] The album features Fennesz's melodic guitar run through digital processing and glitch textures.[2][3][4]

The album brought Fennesz critical recognition and became "a hit in left-field electronica."[5] It was reissued in 2006 in a new mix with two bonus tracks and new cover art.[6] It was named among the best albums of the decade by publications such as Pitchfork,[4] Fact,[7] and Resident Advisor.[8]
