Essex band Sun Arcana showcase a new side today, releasing a stripped back video of Fracture. The video was recorded live and in one take at London’s Soup Studios.
This track features on their digital Acoustic Sessions EP released in April, consisting of restructured singles from their debut EP As I Take A Breath…
‘I think for any band to record an acoustic session comes a slight feeling of insecurity because you’re vulnerable” explains drummer Ryan Daniels, “We wanted to challenge ourselves. We wanted to show people that we can not only write, but we can also play – and I think that as a band, those are two strong elements that you need to, and should want to, showcase to people.’
Ryan continues ‘Unlike our studIo EP, ‘As I Take A Breath’, we were all tracking live in the same room for this record – which any musician knows adds a whole new level of pressure to your performance. We all had to be on top of our game for this one and I really think we pulled it off. Oh, and not to mention the fact that our takes were being filmed as well… all shot in one take, with no cuts or edits’
Sun Arcana are now gearing up to play The Great Escape, Download Festival and 2000 Trees, alongside support The Maine on intimate sold out shows during June. Further live dates to be announced soon.
