Sydney-based experimental rock collective GODSWOUNDS return with their most ambitious release yet, Cheer Up Sunshine, set for release on February 28 via Sonichimaera. The album pushes sonic boundaries with a mix of high-energy rock, progressive instrumentation, and vintage technology repurposed for a modern psychedelic onslaught.
To preview the album, the band has unveiled the video for its lead single, “Tantamount Love”
“Etched onto the stationary of a hotel notepad, the late, great Freddie Mercury left clues to the original title of Queen’s famed ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. What was it originally called? Why, ‘Mongolian Rhapsody’, of course! ‘Tantamount Love’ is our take on what a Mongolian Rhapsody could be: A high-energy, psychedelic history of the rise and rise again of the Mongolian Empire, full of sound and fury,” the band explains.
Cheer Up Sunshine pre-orders are available now via Sonichimaera.bandcamp.com
