Sundara Karma on the BBC Presents US Tour (Paul Bachmann for Live4ever)
Sundara Karma have shared a trio of previously unheard tracks online.
Today, Tomorrow, Yesterday, Invade Safe Space and Vision Sick all come from the sessions which resulted in Ulfilas’ Alphabet – an album which was launched back in November 2018 with One Last Night On This Earth; “Normally I’ll have a batch of ideas and I’ll chip away at them for months until something emerges but for this song I was fortunate enough to have that moment where everything fell into place,” frontman Oscar Pollock said of the track.
“I wanted to write a song about an extra-terrestrial who’s been sent to Earth to observe human interaction. The being’s mission is to find an emotion that their species has never felt before but it ends up finding nothing, until it falls in love the night before it has to leave and realises, ‘ahh this is the trick, this is the game we haven’t been playing’.”
