13th Floor New Song Of The Day: Sulfate – There You Are!

Sulfate hits hard with their new single There You Are!

The new Sulfate album is just around the corner. Flying Nun will release Godzone on September 10th…plus there is a tour! All is revealed in this Record Company Blurb:

Auckland noise rock trio Sulfate have released their climactic second single, ‘There You Are!’ from their upcoming album ‘Godzone’ — out via Flying Nun Records on September 10th.

‘There You Are!’ was not a delicately thought-out composition — it is fundamentally the sound of a band in a room. The band, consisting of Peter Ruddell (Wax Chattels), Hariet Ellis (Na Noise, Dick Move) and David Harris (Princess Chelsea), entered the recording session with the objective of capturing a kind of nervous claustrophobia through dissonance and waves of distortion, altering the arrangement as they went to best capture that sensation. To Ruddell, “The finished recording captured that feeling of being jostled about by strangers in a dark room, while simultaneously being blinded by the flashing lights of a stage. You’re a bit scared, but it’s a good kind of scared.”

The trio have also today announced their Godzone Album Release Tour, making their way around “God’s Own Country” in the second half of September. From the inception of the band the ethos has always been to create intensity through restraint, and they have developed a live reputation for “startling, sonorous… crushing yet considered” performances (AmbientLightBlog). Sonically, things develop slowly, creating an atmosphere and mood that “invades the subconscious” (Graham Reid) before the crushing noise sets in. It is highly recommended that you BYO earplugs.

Support acts for all shows are to be announced in the coming weeks — and tickets are available now from the always incredible undertheradar.co.nz
