Surrey-based indie trio Sunday Smoke release of their new single, ‘Already Know’. The track sees the band continue to position themselves as emerging figures within the underground indie scene, drawing attention through a more reflective, pop-leaning sound that contrasts with the immediacy of their earlier material.
‘Already Know’ is anchored by a warm acoustic strum and unfolds as a mid-tempo ballad, allowing space for a more restrained and emotive approach. The arrangement is shaped by a glowing rhythm section, where a defined bassline provides structure and depth, guiding the song’s lyrical core. The result is a release that leans into vulnerability, focusing on atmosphere and feeling while retaining a sing-along quality that remains accessible and direct.
Lyrically, the single explores the impermanence of love and the emotional clarity that can follow difficult realisations. Speaking about the meaning behind the track, the band explain, “This song is about acceptance, realising something isn’t going to work out, and letting it go without anger or regret. It’s about recognising when holding onto certain people and situations is harder than letting go.”
Sunday Smoke, who hail from Surrey, are a three-piece indie outfit known for crafting melodic guitar-driven songs with a pop sensibility. Since their debut last year, the band have seen a steady rise in listeners, amassing thousands of streams while becoming regulars on the London live circuit. Drawing inspiration from a broad range of guitar and pop artists, they balance nostalgic influences with a forward-looking approach, and ‘Already Know’ marks another step in defining their evolving sound.
