sunnbrella - Heartworn (Deluxe) CD

Sunnbrella's debut album Heartworn blends modern shoegaze and alt-pop, layering dreamy, melancholic soundscapes with sharp pop sensibility. Co-produced by David Zbirka and Patrick James Fitzroy (PVA, Sorry), the album balances jangling guitars, shimmering synths, and breakbeat rhythms, evoking both nostalgia and fresh sonic textures. With tracks like "Fever Dream," "Wrong" and "Polyester" blending euphoria and longing, Heartworn stands as a defining entry in the shoegaze revival.

Heartworn (Deluxe) features remixes, including a reverb-soaked version of “Fever Dream” and a pulsating remix of “Ivy League” by SynchSamson. It also features the brand-new single “leaveallyourfriends,” a collaboration with electronic artist vvalleys. Heartworn (Deluxe) is available October 25, 2024. Pre-save it here.

Critical Reception

"'Fever Dream' is a tremulous, brooding cut... while 'Wrong' flips it all upside down and creates a DMA’s-esque slacker-indie sunshine festival banger." -The Line of Best Fit

"One of the most exciting artists in the shoegaze and indie-psych scene" -Earmilk

"dreamy summer sounds of acoustic guitars, harmonizing vocals, and wind instruments alongside striking guitar chords and fast drum beats." -IMPOSE

"The entire project is composed using old-school breaks and at times, leans more towards rave than a melancholic indie record" -Magnetic Magazine

"He takes all the hallmarks of the genre — glorious fuzz and distortion, ethereal vocals — and adds dance rhythms to the songs, resulting in a cohesive record that is infectious, poppy, and shimmering while lyrically exploring themes of yearning and loneliness with moments of hope." -Toronto Star
