Sundara Karma on the BBC Presents US Tour, November 2016 (Paul Bachmann for Live4ever)
Sundara Karma have unveiled the first of three new tracks which will be a part of a re-released version of their debut album Youth Is Only Ever Fun In Retrospect on July 7th.
Explore got its first play on BBC Radio 1 yesterday, just before an appearance at Dauwpop later this month starts a long run of festival commitments for the band which by August will have taken in events such as Glastonbury, TRNSMT, Summersonic and Reading/Leeds.
We sat down with Sundara Karma during an earlier 2017 festival visit – South By Southwest – for an interview which delved into the DNA of an outfit very much on the rise. “As the conversation closes a last question helps take stock of what they’ve achieved,” we wrote.
“Having spent almost half a life in bands despite being barely in their twenties: are they wise beyond their years? The reply belies their phlegmatic outlook ‘comes with being comfortable with one another’, an almost inevitable by-product of being in various iterations of the group since the age of thirteen.”
“Grounded, together and letting their music roam free, Sundara Karma aren’t waiting for their time to come.”
