Sadurn reveal new song, "never tell me"
Sadurn have released "never tell me", the latest preview of their upcoming album, The Underworld, due in October.
"never tell me" follows lead single "whole thing" as the latest preview of a collection of songs blending alt-country, bedroom pop, and indie rock. The track was played as a staple ender of the band's live set ahead of the release of their 2022 debut Radiator, and arrives alongside a puppet-led music video.
"'never tell me' is one of my favourite songs I’ve ever written, I think," vocalist G DeGroot says. "It started emerging in 2021 at the moment of a breakup, and then I became too depressed to finish it for another six months. The upside of that is that I was able to write it alongside the full band - we had only recently started playing together, and it was really fun to be able to bring a song to them while it was still in progress. I think that’s something that sets this album apart from Radiator - those earlier songs I had written for Sadurn as an acoustic duo and then adapted to a full band, whereas these ones were mostly written with a band in mind."
The Underworld is released on 16 October via Run For Cover Records
