Metronomy, Sundara Karma to play Blissfields in July

Metronomy and Sundara Karma are on the bill for Blissfields in July.

The former are the first headliner to be confirmed for the Hampshire event, while Japanese House and Beans On Toast are among the other acts confirmed for July 6th-8th.

Sundara Karma are entering into a year of promoting Youth Is Only Ever Fun In Retrospect – ‘the Reading four-piece are at ground level, yakking in a musical language more fluent in millennial indie-pop than anything else’ our review of the debut album said:

“If the music sports its inspirations boldly, sometimes too boldly, that’s not to say that the music is uninspired. Happy Family feels epic. Part hymnal, part soul-searching, big emotions are up for sale and bought with every listen. Lulu is adamant that he and his towering vocals are staying in the night on The Night. It’s tempting to stay there with him.”

“The good-time track of the record, She Said, is a guitar-laden, chug-a-lugging knockout about the uncertainties of being young. 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.”
