It’s a gloomy day here in New South Wales. But the music of Tempus Sun has brightened my morning. I’ve been streaming the band’s debut EP and just loving their fantastic piano pop sound. It realises all the promise I heard in the single “Owls” a couple of months ago.
While I still love that track, I think the new single “Gold” is just that little bit better. It’s got a fantastic anthemic quality; this one will lift you up and stir your emotions.
The band’s keyboardist Grant Hardisty seems pretty chuffed with it too, commenting “The track is about exactly what the title suggests, moments of euphoria and bliss that just want to be relived again and again. It’s remembering those unparalleled happy moments with that golden tinge of nostalgia that can make you forget all your worries and stresses in a hazy daydream. It’s those summer nights that last with a sense of timelessness, a reflection upon a memory that you’d give anything to revisit, those times with friends that extend from a couple of hours to an entire day. It’s also about love with a slightly bitter twist, but it’s equally about light, warmth and all things Gold.”
To celebrate the EP’s release, Tempus Sun will make a quick trip around the East Coast later this month. Catch them at the following venues.
25 August 2017 – The Milk Factory, Brisbane
26 August 2017 – Brighton Up Bar, Sydney
