Portland krautrock/postmodern pop/psych outfit Sun Atoms have unleashed their new single ‘Take This Love’, and its accompanying video.
The song, an upbeat synth-rock odyssey, features on their new 2-track single, out on July 26th via Little Cloud Records. Grab it here.
Mixed by iconic producer Jagz Kooner (Massive Attack, Primal Scream, Oasis, Garbage) and mastered by Keith Tenniswood (Spiritualized, Death In Vegas), ‘Take This Love’ stands as a testament to Sun Atoms’ commitment to musical innovation and creativity with Jsun Atoms delving into introspective realms, while pondering the “hieroglyphs in bright lights” illuminated by the desert stars. Its lyrical crowning blow lies in the line “take this love and shove it up your heart”.
The B-side ‘And The Lion Saw The UFO’ emerges as a sci-fi cautionary tale, resonating with experimental Krautrock beats and psychedelic textures. This auditory odyssey delves into dreamlike reverie, blurring the line between reality and imagination.
Meticulously crafted and imbued with cosmic energy, Sun Atoms’ music captivates the senses, operating beyond the boundaries of sound and space. A genre-defying fusion of psychedelic rock, indie pop and post-punk, Sun Atoms push the boundaries of their own sonic exploration, inviting listeners on a musical escapade that defies categorization.
