Sundara Karma return with new single 'Illusions'

After stunning us with their brilliant debut album 'Youth Is Only Fun In Retrospect', Reading's Sundara Karma have now returned with a brand new single.

The new track 'Illusions' was produced by Stuart Price (Les Rythmes Digitales, Jacques Lu Cont) and Everything Everything's Alex Kaines, and is looking to be the first taste of the band's eagerly-awaited second studio album.

Speaking about the new cut, frontman Oscar Pollock said, “The song is a groovy slow pumper, our best effort ever at being both sensual and enlightening. In times of horror and uncertainty we need love and positivity and the ability to recognise that everything around us is temporary. I like to think we are not separate from one another, every single thing we do affects the people and the world around us. From macro to micro - from our inner world to the outer world. Easier said than done and much easier sung than said.”
