about
Approaching the release of their sophomore album, danish folk-rock outfit SUNDAYS release another single, a darkly hopeful love song titled “Drifter”.
Produced in cooperation with Asger Techau (of danish rockband KASHMIR), who is also behind the wheel on the upcoming album “Inner Coasts”, the song presents itself as a dimly lit romantic ballad, situated in a constant, almost hypnotic drive.
“The song is one of two major love dramas on the record,” says lead man and songwriter Magnus Jacobsen. He explains how the song portrays love as a condition of being adrift between islands. “I’m trying to describe this early stage of infatuation, where you have an almost eerie sense of being drawn towards someone, like a calling.”
As a single, “Drifter” also offers an impression of the style of the upcoming album. With Techau on board, the band has ventured forth from the pop-sensibilities of their renowned debut album “Wiaca” (2019), approaching a sound that has a more rockish and unpolished edge, without foregoing the catchiness and melodic accessibility that are the hallmarks of SUNDAYS.
“Drifter” is releasing digitally as a single on February 5th,and the album “Inner Coast” is out on vinyl, CD and digitally on March 26thvia Celebration Records (DK) and K&F Records (DE).
lyrics
There’s a tide inside of me
It lingers in the corners of my silence
When it opens wide I see
How my fingers row me closer to your island
Were you behind the waterfall
Watching closely as I stumble through your features?
I never said I want it all
But still I long to get beyond your shallow beaches
I’ve been waiting for your call
Yes I’m waiting for your call
I say it’s just a game you play
You disappear each time I get a little closer
I don’t belong here anyway
Just want to hear you cry it all out on my shoulder
While I’m waiting for your call
Well I’ve been roaming coast to coast
‘Cause it’s the only road I know
Take me below your undertow, to your heart
Don’t let me burn out in the sand
You be my curse, I’ll be your man
Just want to learn to understand who you are
I’ve been adrift so many days
That I could hardly recollect my broken pieces
So let me make you part of me
And I’ll be part of you so we are always needed
Well I’ve been roaming coast to coast...
There’s a balance between you and me
It’s a challenge so clear to see
What’s right can’t hold what fades so bleak
What’s left will show, in what shapes we seek
A string of thought as I make my way
Just a single caught, held up against the day
Who roams this deep - who grows this high?
Go home and be anyone we like
