Fans of Thunder Fox will agree it’s about time the Sydney quintet released their third album. Well, the wait is almost over. The long-player, Sanctuary, will be out on 18 November. Meanwhile, the band put out the album’s opening track Head In The Clouds as their new single. An exciting cocktail of musical styles, the song mixes pop, funk and R&B. But it all starts with a heavenly slice of gospel. Elsewhere, we hear intoxicating rhythms, triumphant horns and blissful, soulful vocals.

“If Thunder Fox is known for anything, it’s being able to avoid taking things too seriously,” says vocalist and guitarist Sam Dawes. “Head in The Clouds came to me in a blue dream on one of those hot nights where your brain feels sticky. I think the lyrics are self-explanatory, so I won’t provide an in depth analysis. The point is, we wanted to open the album with some fun and familiarity before shit got real.”
