The Naked and Famous - "Sunseeker"
We spent the last few days completely mesmerized by the latest release from the Naked and Famous. “Sunseeker” is a dreamy and bright move into a more electronic pop sound than the band usually trends to - the song sounds new and fresh, yet still manages to sound like the Naked and Famous we love.
What makes “Sunseeker” even more charming? The song is about lead vocalist Alisa Xayalith’s dog, who joined the band for the writing and recording sessions of this new album. Speaking about the new track, ’Sunseeker’ was written in a time when I was covered in joy and positivity. It was inspired by my dog, Ginger. She came into my life unexpectedly, as did the boy who I fell in love with that found her. I didn’t grow up with a family pet, and now I can’t imagine life without her. She was present for all the TNAF sessions over the last year. I started calling her my ‘Sunseeker’—she’d disappear into the garden, and I’d find her in various places basking in patches of sunlight beaming through the trees. The song is about something, or someone, appearing in your life that you didn’t know you needed.
If that isn’t enough to completely fall in love with this song, then we don’t know what is!
