Sydney/Byron Bay collective CARAVÃNA SUN release their third studio album Burning Palms today. The electrifying 10 track album, written and recorded all within the past 2 years includes an eloquent ode to companionship, ‘Charlie’, the intensely personal song ‘Stella’, the dreamy rock odyssey ‘Afterlife’ and their uplifting new single ‘Leave It Behind’.
Although their new album was written whilst on tour in Munich and Lisbon, Burning Palms is an album that sees CARAVÃNA SUN return to their roots and find appreciation in nature as it was recorded in a secluded space deep in the heart of the Blue Mountains, NSW Australia. Sonically the album lives and breathes in a way that means they could play the songs live, and is a celebration of the band’s longevity writing and performing together for over a decade.
Accompanying the electrifying & heartening single ‘Leave It Behind’ is a nostalgia-tinged music video, filmed around the stress and suburbs of the Sunshine Coast, before the band hit the stage with iconic Australian act The Cat Empire. In anticipation for the crowd that awaited them, the band wanted to capture the nerves, excitement, revelry, and passion in all of its glory. A refreshing rebirth after months and years of rescheduled & lost touring opportunities.
2022 is shaping up to be the band’s biggest year yet and fans will be delighted to know that their new album will be supported by a tour. “We’re super excited to take this record on the road. With shows around Australia & over 2 months of shows booked throughout Europe & the UK, we’re beyond ready to bring this live energy back to the people.” CARAVÃNA SUN
