Sussex four-piece Suns Up have chosen the perfect name for their band. There’s nothing wrong with their indie-pop tunes in the autumn and winter, but they appear to be made for the spring and summer. Like their first two singles Stay and Love You Back, Just Because is a sun-kissed song, combining infectious guitar hooks, feel-good vibes and sparkling vocal harmonies. It is, as the band characterise it beautifully: ‘music made with guitars to sing and dance to’.

When talking about how the song came to life, front man Dave explains: “We had an idea which we kept coming back to at rehearsals. I had an opening line and a melody that I really liked, but the rest took time to get right. I’m not a very open person, but I find in my music that I am. This song turned out to be quite personal to me about someone close and I wanted the music to do justice to that.”

Just Because by Suns Up is this week’s Carte Blanche Music Wildcard!
