I will admit to having enjoyed ‘Brave New World’ more than I expected. No, I am not referring to Aldous Huxley’s influential work, but rather to Sunsara’s latest work, a vigorous, anthemic gem also serving as the band’s debut effort. In truth, the song is actually related to Huxley, with the London-based indie outfit explaining how it “focuses on the way people are changing in a world driven by technology and how this impacts relationships.”
That’s a relatable statement, one that will resonate with a wide audience out there, especially given the way we all tend to get lost in social media these days. ‘Brave New World’ gets us lost too, this time in Sunsara’s shiny, fuzzy tones and irresistible, monumental choruses. On a mission to make guitar bands cool again, the British creatives have developed an aural formula that feels certainly familiar, without resting on history’s laurels. ‘Brave New World’ manages to sound contemporary, fully framed in society’s ever-evolving cultural landscape.
Boasting British, Indian and Polish roots, Sunsara promises an eclectic future, one with “the occasional word in Sanskrit thrown in”, as they playfully hint. Kiran Bose, Matthew Nicholls, Thom Pew and Jan Trafas are the talented humans behind the project.
