Sunsara’s debut single, “Brave New World,” is a real trip through modern indie rock, but with a nod to Britain’s musical roots. These guys from London are a melting pot of cultures – you’ve got Kiran Bose, Matthew Nicholls, Thom Pew, and Jan Trafas bringing their British, Indian, and Polish backgrounds to the table.
“Brave New World” hits you right from the start with those chill vibes and slayer guitar grooves. It’s one of those songs that gets you thinking while you’re nodding along, isn’t it? The band took a page from Aldous Huxley’s book (literally) and ran with it, exploring how tech messes with our relationships. It’s pretty spot-on for what we’re dealing with these days.
Kiran Bose’s voice? Damn, it’s something else. The guy’s got pipes that’ll make you sit up and listen. Jan Trafas keeps everything tight on drums, while Matthew Nicholls weaves some magic on guitar. And let’s not forget Thom Pew holding it down on bass. When they all come together for those three-part harmonies? Chills, people. Absolute chills.
Sunsara’s got this talent for writing stuff that’ll be stuck in your head for eternity. If you’re into The Smiths, Blur, or more recent stuff like Muse and The 1975, you’ll dig this for sure. And get this – they throw in some Sanskrit phrases here and there. It’s like, who does that? But it works, giving them this unique flavour in a sea of same-sounding indie bands.
“Brave New World” is one hell of an extraordinary band. The way they mix deep lyrics with catchy beats and solid rock vibes is something else. We’re telling you, Sunsara is the band you need to keep your eyes on.
