The imitable A. Swayze and the Ghosts return with a surprise single drop that delivers a searing look at the horrors of climate and the seemingly indifference of the populace. According to the band, ‘Hot Sun’ is:

A song about the planet getting hotter, the future looking increasingly uncertain, and our collective tendency to carry on as though everything’s fine,

The buoyant track channels a little Iggy Pop with the the band’s tendency towards delivering a glam stomp with an arched brow and a bag full of swagger and attitude. It’s a hedonistic romp with a serious message from one of the remote southern isle’s best exports:

The single is out now and available to download and stream through the link above and here. Meanwhile, the band is supporting Jimmy Eat World on their Australian tour on the following dates:

10 Dec
Sydney, NSW
The Hordern Pavilion
11 Dec

12 Dec
