P
roduced by Simon ‘Berkfinger’ Berkelman (Philadelphia Grand Jury, Art Vs. Science), Falling In An Elevator exudes a beautiful toughness across its five tracks. Reflecting the psyche of a romantically confused young person trying to survive in the big city, the EP was written over the course of years, and explores concepts like romantic idealisation, heartache and self-possession with frank, powerful vulnerability.
Following the release of ‘High Over Love‘, a slice of dynamic, hook-driven rock, and latest propulsive and romantically charged single, ‘Think About You‘,Falling In An Elevator sees the band find their lush, indie-rock sound informed by a new-found confidence and lucidity. The previous singles received strong online and radio support with adds to Fbi Radio rotation, triple j play, adds to Spotify’s Broad Chords andChords + Cardigans, and the accompanying music video for ‘High Over Love‘ added to rage.
Having recently supported the likes of DMAs, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, Jen Cloher and Ali Barter on tourandtaking stage at Farmer & the Owl and Grampians Music Festival, Sunscreen hit the road last month in support of ‘High Over Love’, performing to packed out venues in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. Sunscreen prepare to do it all again, with their captivating performance and unheard new material in tow.
Falling In An Elevator is out Friday 23 August via Spunk! Records and is available for pre-order now.
