Sun God

Sunday Driver return with their fourth, and the follow-up to their critically acclaimed 2014 record, Flo. Weaving through multiple languages, genres and sounds, the record plays tribute to the band's cultural background and, despite it's storyline theme, highlights a very personal experience. Lyrics are enhanced by infectious songwriting that takes you on a stereoscopic journey through the collective minds of one of the UK's most exciting bands. The title track is a perfect introduction to the record. Set against smoky, jazz-infused tones, sitars and featuring pioneer of the British Banghra sound, Kuljit Bhamra, on the tabla, the track wonderfully introduces the musicality of the album and it's lyrical themes. 'Time Machine' continues with this theme matched against flamboyant, infectious instrumentation. 'Sun God' is a treasure trove of colourful songs that is well worth the wait since the band's last, although that wait was not the original intention: "We have been demoing songs for this album since the summer of 2013. In the space of a few days in the studio we churned out almost 100 fledgling ideas between us. Some were snippets of melodies Chandy remembered from her childhood spent surrounded by south Indian musicians. Our producers had the idea of building these snippets into songs in the studio, leading to our EP 'Flo'. We stuck with this approach for the new album.01 Aftermath 02 Sun God 03 For A Few Regrets More 04 Sylvi 05 In Your Shadow 06 Somewhere Nice 07 Mathanga 08 Time Machine. 09 Keepsake.
