sundayclub confront feelings of disconnect on new single, "Sad Summer"
Winnipeg indie duo sundayclub have released "Sad Summer", the latest taster of their upcoming self-titled debut album due in July.
"Sad Summer" follows previous singles "Blue Wave" and "Camera Shy". The track was written during a period of social withdrawal and creative frustration for the band, born out of the pressure of trying to keep up with a fast-paced world while feeling worn down.
“‘Sad Summer’ came about as a result of feeling extremely unmotivated, both to create and to socialise,” says vocalist Courtney Carmichael. “The chorus just kept repeating itself: ‘Sad summer, it's a sad summer.’ Everything about the song felt candid because we didn't shy away from exposing that inner dialogue of feeling tired, down and disconnected. There's something freeing about being that direct.”
