Easy Life Records’ new signing Sun Arcana impress with new video and single Wonderful.

Akin to the name, Sun Arcana’s new track is a full-throttle, riff filled work of art. It’s hard to come by original sounding rock bands when all the boots seem to have been filled, but Sun Arcana have a fresh, rounded heavier sound with a melodic side that appeals to a broad audience.

From Essex, Sun Arcana were brought together by a collective vision to create the exact sound they’ve achieved on this track.

Talking about the sound, guitarist Harry Acreman said:

We​ ​want​ ​our​ ​sound​ ​to​ ​really​ ​represent​ ​how​ ​we​ ​write.​ ​Prior​ ​to​ ‘​Wonderful’,​ ​we​ ​would​ ​often​ ​record​ ​and​ ​find​ ​that​ ​the music​ ​wasn’t​ ​representing​ ​us.​ ​We​ ​like​ ​to​ ​think​ ​of​ ​our​ ​live​ ​shows​ ​as​ ​big,​ ​full​ ​of​ ​ballsy​ ​riffs​ ​and​ ​an​ ​overall​ ​rocky anthemic​ ​sound,​ ​but​ ​our​ ​old​ ​recordings​ ​were​ ​too​ ​tame.​ ​Now​ ​we​ ​are​ ​aiming​ ​for​ ​that​ ​big,​ ​in-your-face​ ​sound.

Wonderful really reflects these comments, and vocalist Tom Harper-Ward went on to explain:

We​ ​chose it​ ​as​ ​our​ ​first​ ​single​ ​because​ ​we​ ​felt​ ​it​ ​was​ ​important​ ​to​ ​start​ ​with​ ​a​ ​bang.​ ​After​ ​we​ ​came​ ​up with​ ​the​ ​opening​ ​riff​ ​at​ ​rehearsal,​ ​we​ ​knew​ ​straight​ ​away​ ​that​ ​it​ ​had​ ​to​ ​be​ ​a​ ​massive​ ​song​ ​with​ ​huge​ ​riffs everywhere.​ ​We’re​ ​particularly​ ​excited​ ​to​ ​play​ ​this​ ​one​ ​live.

The video accompaniment is a beautiful piece of cinematography filmed in Manchester, with Rolling Vision.

With​ ​this​ ​video​ ​in​ ​particular,​ ​it​ ​was​ ​important​ ​to​ ​keep​ ​up with​ ​the​ ​high​ ​energy​ ​of​ ​the​ ​song​ ​and​ ​we​ ​thought​ ​they​ ​absolutely​ ​smashed​ ​it​ ​for​ ​us.​ ​Although​ ​I​ ​must​ ​admit,​ ​after filming​ ​it​ ​took​ ​me​ ​a​ ​few​ ​days​ ​to​ ​recover​ ​due​ ​the​ ​amount​ ​of​ ​takes​ ​we​ ​did.​ ​Probably​ ​has​ ​to​ ​be​ ​the​ ​least​ ​rock​ ​n​ ​roll thing​ ​to​ ​say,​ ​but​ ​I​ ​had​ ​a​ ​neck​ ​ache​ ​for​ ​about​ ​a​ ​week​ ​after.

The band name touches on the mythology behind Tarot cards, with Arcana referring to mystical secrets and the Sun radiating light – referring to optimism. It’s partly a reflection of the band’s positive outlook on things to come.

They are also set to play the single launch show at The Finsbury in London on November 21st.
