Sunbleached share their new single 'Slow Burn'

Brisbane alt-rock outfit Sunbleached have unveiled their striking new single Slow Burn, an angsty and immersive track exploring the blurry, undefined space between friendship and relationship.

Wasting no time introducing itself, "Slow Burn" is an instant earworm, bursting to life with a wall of sound before settling into the band's trademark blend of alt-rock and emo. Lyrically, the song captures that strange stage at the beginning of a new relationship where things feel right, despite neither person labelling it - constant texting, late night calls and early emotional investment, all while keeping things private and undefined.

Speaking on the track, vocalist Josh Baker explains: "The line 'crack myself in two for you' came from feeling split between real life and whatever version of myself existed inside a phone talking to somebody all the time. I wrote it from that feeling of being completely wrapped up in someone while still existing in this strange in-between space where nobody really knows what’s going on except the two people in it."

Slow Burn is out now and streaming everywhere via Community Music.
