The boys are back! And they’ll be releasing new music on January 7th. Sundown Superhero announced the arrival of a brand new single on Saturday, December 4th on their Instagram, but teased new music would be coming back in August with photos of bassist and vocalist Craig Haniff and drummer Philip Norville in the studio. They also shared a small sample of the new song in an eight second video.
The new single – the name of which has yet to be revealed – will be the band’s first since 2019’s “Hit Repeat” from their second album for what it’s worth. Haniff revealed to Zeitgeist that the single is from Sundown Superhero’s upcoming third album, which the band plans to release in 2022. Unlike their two previous albums, this one will largely be recorded in person and not remotely.
“[W]e wanted this new album to be an in person album, but we’ve had to delay it thanks to the pandemic…we’ve decided to record this new single remotely and then have Emile fly in in 2022 to record the remainder of the album together. [On] this album we’ve experimented a lot more with who sings what when and where. [On] our [two] previous albums Emile did 90% of the singing but on this [third] one, including the new single, the singing is more shared.”
Haniff also shared that he rewrote the entire album in a few weeks while recovering from minor eye surgery and “[incorporated] more mature themes.”
