Sundara Karma announce new album 'Ulfilas’ Alphabet'

After returning last month to share the comeback single 'Illusions', Sundara Karma have now announced their plans for a new studio album, set to arrive next March.

The new full-length 'Ulfilas’ Alphabet' follows on from their 2017 debut LP ‘Youth Is Only Ever Fun In Retrospect’, is being previewed by the new track 'One Last Night On This Earth', and is set to be released on the 1st March via Chess Club/RCA.

Speaking about their latest cut, frontman Oscar Pollock explained, “Normally I’ll have a batch of ideas and I’ll chip away at them for months until something emerges but for this song I was fortunate enough to have that moment where everything fell into place. I wanted to write a song about an extra-terrestrial who’s been sent to Earth to observe human interaction. The being’s mission is to find an emotion that their species has never felt before but it ends up finding nothing…until it falls in love the night before it has to leave and realises, ahh this is the trick, this is the game we haven’t been playing.”
