Sundara Karma live at the Brixton Academy, London (Alberto Pezzali / Live4ever)
Sundara Karma have unveiled more from their second studio album Ulfilas’ Alphabet.
Ahead of the LP’s release on March 1st next year, The Changeover is straight out with a new video as Sundara Karma continue preparations for the follow-up to debut Youth Is Only Ever Fun In Retrospect. “The good-time track of the record, She Said, is a guitar-laden, chug-a-lugging knockout about the uncertainties of being young,” Live4ever’s review reads.
“Instinctive feeling isn’t everything for the group though, and they try to rub the intellect more than a lot of the indies around today; Lulu’s been open about his love of Shakespeare (Loveblood is inspired by Romeo and Juliet) and you’d be hard stretched to find a palatable tune you can dance to that’s been influenced by incessant thinker, Plato. Flame fills that spec to a tee.”
“Of the handful of unheard numbers, Be Nobody‘s slow thrust leaves only minor impact and Watching From Great Heights clangs of Kings Of Leon without moving far enough away from them. They end up hitting their stride with the stiff acoustic strums of Lose The Feeling, a guttural tale of valleys, wizened women and enlightenment.”
