sad songs for dirty covers - a compilation of the national covers for house of tulip | Single | 2021 |
After years of playing in Brighton and Southampton DIY bands before finding themselves as members of Bristol’s thriving indie scene, Sun Spot released their debut EP, Clipping EP in September 2021 on Rosecoloured Records - showcasing their love of experimental pop with an offering saturated with bombastic, sampled drums, waves of ambient synths and interjections of corrupted, effects-laiden melody.
Having supported the likes of JAWS, The XCERTS and Black Marble and performed at festivals around the country, Sun Spot returned to Bristol to commence writing a follow-up. Helmed by producer and guitarist George Turner with vocalist and bassist Will Palmer, these sessions were spent with a particular focus on collaboration and further experimentation in mind.
Now operating as a four piece—with live members Kris Bressington and Scott ‘Scoops’ Alexander-Bowen permanent additions to the line-up—Sun Spot re-emerge with the announcement that they are working with Venn Records to present their latest foray into warped, genre fluid pop; their forthcoming new EP Working Memory.
‘Keepsake’—the lead single from their forthcoming new EP, Working Memory—was released earlier this year to a wave of notable support from The Independent, Distorted Sound Magazine, and Bring The Noise, with radio spins from Jack Saunders at BBC R1 and Alex Baker at Kerrang! Radio, who made the band his Fresh Blood Featured Artist of The Week.
New EP ‘Working Memory’ available 19.05.23 via Venn Records
