Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever return after four years of silence with "Sunburned in London". Could a new album be on the way?

The Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever return after a four-year hiatus with “Sunburned in London,” a six-minute sonic postcard that reaffirms the Australian quintet's vocation for illustrating places through music. Written by Tom Russo (one of the band's three voices and guitars), the song takes the form of a travel diary, where incessant movement serves as a pretext to observe the city as a living organism. Russo explains:

“I was thinking about sensory overload and relentless beauty, and the creeping feeling in the streets that the party's winding up and the lights are about to come on.”

“Sunburned in London” is a discreet yet confident return from a band that has always made cities the protagonists of its music, using the intertwining of guitars. Without formal announcements of a new album or concerts, the track establishes itself as a sign of life.

The single is accompanied by a video of a live performance at Melbourne's Northcote Theatre, where the band is joined by Stella Donnelly, Sophie Ozard and Julia Wallace on keyboards and backing vocals.
