SUNSET ROLLERCOASTER RELEASE NEW SINGLE ‘UNDER THE SKIN’ LIFTED FROM UPCOMING THIRD LP SOFT STORM OUT THIS FRIDAY

Taiwanese soul-psych outfit Sunset Rollercoaster today share new single ‘Under The Skin‘, the latest offering from their forthcoming record Soft Storm, due for release this October 30. Listen HERE and watch HERE. 

On ‘Under The Skin‘ Sunset Rollercoaster broach into balladry, with a smooth reimagining of ballads past. Sonically intersecting at the gentle synths of Mild High Club, warmth of This Old Dog era Mac Demarco and the charm of Connan Mockasin. “Just let these nights go by, till the stars fall from the sky” sings vocalist Kuo-Hung, recalling those glint-filled evenings spent swooning with another. Together with previous single ‘Candlelight‘ featuring OHHYUK, Sunset Rollercoaster allude to the slow burn of their third studio album, Soft Storm, an introspectively funky endeavour from the group.

Following their 2019 EP VANILLA VILLA and their most recent LP, 2018’s Cassa Nova, Sunset Rollercoaster continue their project of absorbing classic American genres and styles into their amalgam of smooth 80’s city pop, “cute prog rock” and contemporary pop music. With Soft Storm, they turn their attention to sensuous and pensive quiet storm R&B. Appropriately, Soft Storm is a record full of introspective funk and quietly intense narratives, loosely tracing the course of a rainstorm hitting an unnamed city, following individuals stories of residents caught up in its path as Kuo Kuo’s lyricism zooms in and out of their lives, darting from city building to building. 

Now with their forthcoming record Soft Storm, Sunset Rollercoaster are set to capitalise on their increasingly worldwide popularity, known for their epic guitar jams, imaginative visuals, and mesmerizing live show. Their most recent 2019 EP, VANILLA VILLA, made fans at Bandcamp, Flaunt, Hypebeast, Paste, Brooklyn Vegan, among others, with lead single ‘Villa‘ also getting a mind-bending remix from Stones Throw‘s Jerry Paper.

‘Under The Skin‘ by Sunset Rollercoaster is out now, buy/stream it here.
