Sunday Driver announce their first single since 2020's ‘Time Machine’. Taken from their forthcoming new album Sun God, ‘Somewhere Nice’ is a hypnotic, poppy return from a band that like the rest of us is just about holding on! Whilst the song has very little lyrical content, what lyrics there are capture life in 2021 perfectly: I can see you holding on, but I don't believe my eyes, So let me take you on a ride somewhere nice.

This theme is echoed by guitar player Chemise's revolving 7/4 riff, which not only serves to make the track feel immediate and intricate but represents the lyrics and themes from the upcoming record.

On the song, lead singer Chandy Nath explains:

"Escapism, being transported to that ‘other place’ – whether real or imaginary – that’s what the song is fundamentally about. Even when everything seems to be falling apart, there’s a voice in your head that tells you that ‘here and now’ is transitory and that there will be a release from it all, maybe it’s inaccessible right now but it’s there and you will get to it, someday a long way from now.

This song has taken on new meaning for me after lockdown – it encapsulates a sense of being at breaking point but still managing to hold it together. Holding on to the conviction that we will (eventually) be somewhere else. Somewhere Nice.

For many people, the first lockdown meant being confined at home, with one day being much the same as another, and yet at the same time a sense of danger, of impending doom, of apocalypse. The sense of there being nowhere to go. Before Covid, ‘going somewhere’ was a pretty ordinary thing but in the immediate aftermath of lockdown even a drink at the local became a huge event."

The song bounces around playfully with Kat Arney's clarinet lines floating overhead, tight bass and drums and smatterings of genius from tabla maestro Kuljit Bhamra, his interactions with drummer Pete Mansfield find some particularly hopeful points of joy frequently.

More details on Sunday Driver’s new album Sun God will follow early 2022 alongside a string of new single releases.

A sad fairytale of a young girl with love absent from her life. Her life is not a blessing and in death she finds freedom.

Beat Controllers It is a Project of Electronic Music with 10 years of trajectory, with a style of experimental psytrance and live electric guitar, they have managed to cross borders in stages in Mexico, United States, Rumania and Israel.

“There were some voices outside: “Smiley, Smiley, open the door: we only want to warm up in front of your fire and then we’ll leave you in peace. Every day the wild women of the woods, knocked on his door and finally one day Smiley opened the door and they’took him away into the woods…”

Giudi says: “Although I normally use electronic music I felt it would be wonderful to bring to everybody a piece of the mystical Czech magic, using voices as instruments so I’ve recorded a completely acapela song

Something different and authentic, inspired by our own wonderful Czech music and culture.

“Jezinky” are the legendary wild woman from the Bohemian Woods. They are mythical creatures seducing people to get lost with them in the woods. Now imagine the Jezinky represent your fears. I wanted to make a music video that reflects how people can feel lost and empty nowdays. We are all “lost in the woods” with tons of information and uncertainties. In the song I lure the listeners into my forest of spells and magic, so they can play the game with me.”

Giudi collaborates with fashion designers from across the world, but for this video she connected to the local brand Overal Office, which is a sustainable brand currenlty exporting to Asia. Giudi recycled her husband’s wedding suit into the post apocalyptic costume inspired by army style. On the music video she collaborated with her long time creative director, visual artist JaCob Ra and cinematographer Jan Moravec.

“Behind the hills, behind the mines, where do my golden antlers graze? The Jerzinky wild women took little Smiley deep into the forest! But his friend, the deer, heard his cries and came and rescued him.”

This ambient piece represents the feeling of staying up all night and listening to a night talk show on the radio somewhere in the late eighties in Helsinki. It’s raining, it’s dark outside but you get a warm and comforting feeling of listening to the familiar voice on the radio.

In The Quiet is a folky ballad similar to Mumford and Sons. It is about moving away and being far from friends but still caring about them. The picking part was inspired by a classical guitar song called Lagrima by Francisco Tarrega.

"Soul Destination" is a peaceful storytelling piano track. A melancholic mix between sweet memories and faded future.
