Sunn O))) are participating in Sub Pop Records’ Singles Club Vol. 8 with two new songs, “Evil Chuck/Ron G Warrior.” The digital release will be available for download and streaming October 25. The seven-inch record will be sent to Singles Club subscribers soon after.
Song recordings were made during VIP sound checks on the Shoshin (初心) Duo tour at the end of 2022, early 2023, by front-of-house master Chris Fullard. The material was refined at Seagrass Studios, as the band with Brad Wood to arrange, edit, and produce. Matt Colton cut the vinyl at Metropolis in London.
Sunn O))) comment:
“In Sunn O)))’s 25th year, this is an extraordinary ‘full-circle’ moment for us. We grew up in north Seattle, began our musical collaboration in Seattle in the early 90s, and were raised on the Sub Pop singles series those days. The series had an incredible history, with many of our favorite bands participating. It’s also Sub Pop’s 35th anniversary, Earth2’s 30th anniversary, and the Sunn O))) Model T’s 50th anniversary this year! Sunn O))) would like to thank Jonathan Poneman, Nick Turner and all of the Sub Pop team for inviting us into this legacy … Eternal hails to our great fans and incredible audience for their loyalty, belief, and support which carries us into this era. Salute! Viva!”
Sunn O))) will celebrate the release with a concert November 22 at The Moore Theatre in Seattle with support by Earth (performing Earth 2) and Jesse Sykes (w/ Phil Wandscher).
