Laundromat Chicks’ ‘Sunburn’ brings jangle-pop warmth and longing
Vienna-based Laundromat Chicks announce their third album, Something Possessed, with the release of their new single, ‘Sunburn,’ a sweetly nostalgic track wrapped in jangle-pop charm.
‘Sunburn’ captures the band’s distinctive blend of melancholy and joy, invoking influences like The Clean, Camera Obscura, and Kurt Vile. As the track unfolds, its rickety guitars and soft piano accents create a warm, free-flowing sound that builds to a triumphant yet fragile finish. Reminiscent of Wim Wenders’ road films and the 80s Dunedin Sound, the song finds a perfect balance of humor and vulnerability, with an energy that is both aimless and purposeful.
Reflecting on the song’s inspiration, songwriter Tobias Hammermüller says:
“The song was inspired by the passing of time, in both a shameful and nostalgic way, as evoked in films that take place in the American West, such as Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid and Brokeback Mountain. There’s always a freedom and a loneliness associated with it at the same time. That’s just a very universal theme, I think.”
With ‘Sunburn’ out now, Laundromat Chicks give fans a glimpse of Something Possessed, due January 24 via Siluh Records.
