Remember Subtle Science by Sun Gods? This great new Belgian band, consisting of brothers Brent Buckler and Sander Cliquet, Vincent Lembregts, and Marijn Geerts, have a new single out. Once again, it’s well worth your attention!

Formerly known as Barefoot & The Shoes, the four musicians renamed their band and re-invented their sound. Nowadays, they produce ‘big music’, referencing the likes of Peter Gabriel and Simple Minds, while adding contemporary elements of new musical heroes like The War On Drugs and Editors. That said, they have a warm and broad sound of their own. This is largely thanks to Brent Buckler’s characteristic and charming voice, that brings back memories of Hothouse Flowers’ Liam O’Maonlai (Don’t Go, anybody?). Oh well, forgive me my melancholy chatter…

After their debut single Subtle Science was fully embraced by Belgium’s Radio 1, 2019 is about to become the year of the Sun Gods. New songs, new shows and festivals will put the band firmly on the map. At least, that’s what the label promises 😉

If new single Zanzara is anything to go by, I’m convinced Sun Gods will live up to that promise!
