These New South Whales announce third album with new cut "Rotten Sun"
Australia's These New South Whales are back with news of their third album TNSW, and have released new cut "Rotten Sun" to accompany the announcement.
"Rotten Sun" is the second track to be lifted from TNSW, following August's "Bending at the Knee", and lands with a Oscar O’Shea-directed video.
Lead vocalist Jamie Timony says of the song, which is inspired by Ross J. Farrar's poem of the same name, "I can’t read Ross’s poem without crying, so I wanted to regurgitate it in my own way with these lyrics. The sun is slowly eating us all. Everything goes back to the great nothingness from whence it came. And there’s peace in that if we choose."
TNSW will follow the group's 2019 second album I Just Do What God Tells Me To Do.
Tracklist:
- Bending at the Knee
- Rotten Sun
- That's the Life
- Under the Pressure
- Changes
- Back to You
- Tartan & Chrome
- Faceless
- Signal is Strong
- Going Outta My Mind

"Rotten Sun" is out now. These New South Whales' TNSW album will be released via Damaged Records on 18 November, and is available to pre-order now.
