Boston Manor frontman Henry Cox has shared his thoughts about the band's brand new studio album, "Sundiver", which was released this past Friday, September 6th.
Henry shared, "Sundiver is the culmination of two years work and four years of planning. Going into the pandemic we knew our next record would be a double album released in two parts, the first a short shadowy-noiry electronic record set over one night and the second a sprawling rock record that documents the following day. Both albums are products of their environments, we made Datura in the dead of winter in a windowless studio complex that mostly just produced techno, we'd enter before the sun rose and leave long after it set, basically never seeing sunlight. We made Sundiver in Welwyn Garden City over two summers, we barbecued every day & would walk across the road to a meadow and just take naps in the sunshine when we weren't recording.
"We've essentially been working on this album and building up to it since the pandemic. We were obsessed with trying to make a record that felt like blistering sunshine, or that wavy/hazy horizon you get when the pavement is super hot, but we didn't want it to sound "happy" or "major key". Sundiver is by far Boston Manor's best and most ambitious record to date, and we couldn't be happier with it, I really hope our fans love it as much as we do."
Boston Manor are also today spotlighting new song 'Dissolve' from the album, of which Cox says: "One of the earlier tracks we wrote for the record, it came together super organically, and basically started and ended with that bassline. We wanted to make something super groove based and danceable, like something off a Queens of the Stone Age or an Arctic Monkeys record, a proper driving tune. It's about never saying never and always leaving the door to change ajar."
