From Canada, sundayclub kick up pure gold with the ethereal track, “Nuclear Fallout.”
“Nuclear Fallout” is a deeply atmospheric and stirring track that pays healthy homage to a range of musical influences. It shimmers with a woozy, unapologetically lush, ambient atmosphere that feels stunningly cinematic. It is classic dream pop vibes, otherworldly like the Cocteau Twins, and enveloping like Beach House.
The percussive groove gives a tight sense of forward momentum and creates a feeling of tension and release reminiscent of the danceable rhythms of Blondie. Careful, beautifully arranged jangly electric guitar lines weave melodically, as if The Byrds crystalline sparkle met The La’s effortless pop found on “There She Goes.” “Nuclear Fallout” is timeless, nostalgic and immediate.
The enchanting, silky smooth vocal is delivered almost as a whisper rich in harmonies. Slow, floating and shrouded in mystery, the tender delivery demands and rewards with close listening especially with headphones. It perfectly encapsulates the emotions in the track that touch on heartbreak and beauty.
sundayclub adds: “A love story on the verge of implosion, Nuclear Fallout is our newest portrait of emotional self-destruction. Used more as an adjective than a noun, the word nuclear describes a toxic chain reaction of insecurity… leading to a continuous and seemingly cyclical, yet irreversible end… a raw confessional and a chilling metaphor for the kind of emotional warfare that oozes vulnerability and uncertainty.”
“Nuclear Fallout” is a captivating record filled with hypnotic melodies and ethereal harmonies. The track is taken from sundayclub’s debut EP Bannatyne. Connect with sundayclub: Spotify | Instagram
