Sukh pays ode to care workers in their empathy-invoking Alt Indie single “Nightingale”

Posted on 27 June 2020

Manchester-based Indie newcomer Sukh is due to drop their latest single “Nightingale” which pays a soulful ode to the care workers who have selflessly put their lives on the line during the pandemic.

If you didn’t have empathy for nurses before, you certainly will once you hear the semi-orchestral, slightly psychedelic feat of Indie. Sukh found inventive ways to allow you to imagine just what care workers endured and he was just as inventive with the piano-led soundscape. Lou Reed might not be around anymore to soothe our souls, but Sukh has proven with his latest release that he can offer the same level of resonant catharsis.

You can check out Nightingale for yourselves from the date of the official release on July 3rd via Soundcloud. In the meantime, you can check out Sukh’s other feats of mould-breaking Indie.

Sukh Announces His Return To Music With The Brand New Single ‘Flight’

Posted on 11 July 2017

Even accepting that we live in a world where terms such as “awesome” and “amazing” have replace less hyperbolic and everyday words to describe music, I still can’t find a word that better describes Flight than epic. Epic describes something “extending beyond the usual or ordinary, especially in size or scope” and that is exactly what you get with Flight. It is a slow building musical journey moving from chiming guitars and simple piano structures to tumbling drums, musical intensity, widescreen sonics and high drama and it is nothing if not epic.

It is also generically smart covering indie earnestness, piano balladry, alt-rock crescendos and infectious pop infectiousness, it plays with spacey dynamics and thundering drives, the vocals are emotive yet confident and the whole thing could be used a blueprint for how to write a song which is wholly original yet stunningly addictive.

If it was a book it would be The Lord of the Rings, if it were a film it would be…well probably still The Lord of the Rings, if it were a piece of art work it would be a poster from The Lord of the Rings… I’m saying it is big, adventurous and destined to be massively popular. Epic is used all too freely as a descriptive term, in the case of Flight; it is the only word that fits.

Sukh is scheduled to perform at this years Kendal Calling on July 28th with further gigs due to be announced. Further details can be found on Sukh’s official website.  Due for release July 7th, the single ‘Flight’ will be available on all major media providers with the album ‘Galactic Love Machine’ expected to drop later this year
