If you’re a fan of psychedelic then you’ve found yourself a new favourite band in Sunship Balloon.
Sunship Balloon is the side-hustle from Dan Haggis and Tord Øverland-Knudsen, two members of your favourite UK band The Wombats.
For the past 15 years, the duo have created some of the biggest dance numbers and realised they had hard drives filled with song ideas with no home. Thus, Sunship Balloon was birthed.
There are hints of The Wombats but there’s something new.
The fusion of psychedelic and pop creates rapture and makes Sunship Balloon an instant crowd-pleaser. Within the first 10 seconds if you’re not up and moving then you must be ill. Even when I’m not meaning to, I find myself bopping along to beat and it’s infectious.
In Plastic We Trust is an absolute banger and a half from the word go. Re-listening after a dance sesh, the lyrics have deeper meaning about the current state of the world. Confusion sets in as you want to dance, but the words give a morbid reminder of our desperate environment state.
With vibes resonate to Tame Impala and King Gizzard and The Wizard Lizard, Sunship Balloon is fresh, quirky and groovy. Add the boys to your party playlist and introduce your friends to the next big thing.
