The aftertaste of Korine's great latest album, The Night We Raise, runs on, yet, the band is already back with new material, a vibrant piece of immaculately produced and performed gothic synthpop which cloaks the esoteric unease of its lyrics and concept under a glistening and astute sound.
"Sunshine came together in 2020 through a drum loop we had forgotten about making," they reveal about the new single. "When we listened back— it struck us both in a way it didn’t upon the initial creation. I wanted to touch on the complexities and anxieties of the human experience and how they manifest—pushing past feelings of inadequacy and finding some kind of hope on the other side. I was thinking about the satisfaction of overcoming something negative and achieving more than what one was thought possible. People come and go from our collective lives, hopefully something is learned—whether it’s the strength or weakness of some conviction or something more mundane, every moment could be a reason to grow."
Sunshine is out now through Born Losers Records.
