Sunboy return with ‘Nu Religion’ single
Psych newcomers’ latest follows one of the best singles of 2013, ‘Highway Screamin”
Colorado two-piece Sunboy last year put out one of the most head-turning single/video combos in goodness knows how long. ‘Highway Screamin” was a cut-and-paste psych number, doused head to toe in a heavy dose of outward-thinking, hook-laden brilliance.
Today they return with ‘Nu Religion’, a great, lumbering follow-up that builds on early efforts with something more severe in delivery. It dips its toes in ’90s references too, with a baggy second half near-enough inviting Bez to join in on the maracas.
Tame Impala comparisons persist, but there’s plenty else going on in this colossal sonic assault.
Listen to Sunboy’s ‘Nu Religion’ below.
Festival special! Featuring Wolf Alice, Kasabian, Lykke Li, Marmozets, Genesis Owusu and more.
