Bad Suns New Album ‘Apocalypse Whenever’ Out Now
BAD SUNS
APOCALYPSE WHENEVER
OUT NOW
BAND STARTS US HEADLINE TOUR TONIGHT
Apocalypse Whenever, the fourth studio album from Los Angeles-based band Bad Suns is out now.
Produced by long-time collaborator, Eric Palmquist (half•alive, Mutemath, Thrice), Apocalypse Wheneverfeatures dreamy, pulsing ’80s synthesizers, flanked by Stratocasters through cranked Vox amps; and palpable, rhythmic energy. While all of the elements associated with the band’s signature sound are beautifully showcased, their fourth studio album sees Bad Suns take a more conceptual approach to their songwriting, resulting in their most sophisticated work to date.
The 13-track album was conceived as “the soundtrack to a movie that doesn’t yet exist,” setting the scene as the album’s protagonist washes up on the shores of a fictionalized LA after a near-death experience at the hands of the turbulent ocean. In order to fully conceptualize their story, the band did what any good director would do; assembling a mood board, filtering their neo-noir version of Los Angeles through the dreamlike haziness of author Haruki Murakami, the futuristic flair of Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Blade Runner, and the lifted cinematography of Spike Jonze’s HER.
Last week, the band shared the video for their latest single “Life Was Easier When I Only Cared About Me,” a catchy modern rock single that examines how healthy relationships cannot survive without trials and tribulations. Check it outhere. Today, the band release a late night 80s cable TV inspired infomercial featuring radio personality & host of the Tuna on Toast podcast, Stryker. You can call toll free now.
