Ahead of the release of debut album The Eternal Summer next week (22nd March), eclectic Anglo-Parisian quartet Sourface share the final album teaser 'Now and Then'.

The band's most whimical and carefree track to date - sounding like a cross between The Muppets (2011) soundtrack and the Kinks, The waltzing 'Now and Then' grins from ear to ear with sunshine sax, twinkling ivory, and choral chants. Paired with a typically cinematic, road-movie inspired music video, this closing track from their forthcoming debut The Eternal Summer provides the listener with an all's well that end's well fairytale ending, as vocalist/guitarist Ludo Aslangul explains:

"Now and Then is a song about embracing love, leaving regret behind and stepping forward into the next adventure. It’s the last scene of the movie - everything worked out in the end as the four protagonists ride off into the distance..."

More about Sourface and The Eternal Summer:
Formed at University in London right before the rupture of the pandemic as a means of channelling hope, manifesting their lives and looking to the future, the four-piece, now split between Paris and London, regularly perform in both cities, sing in both respective languages, infected by the spirit of both distinctive cultures.

Recorded at the band's self-made Babylon Studio in Paris during the heatwave of 2022, The Eternal Summer - due for release on the week of the 2024 Spring Equinox - offers an eclectic 11-song sequence celebrating sunlight, abundance and positivity, while exploring the dangers of having such things stripped away from us.  It's a story that has been brought to life by the band in comic book form.

Marbling yacht-rock, jazz, funk, post-punk, and disco-house, the quartet fail, miserably, at wiping the grin off their (sour) faces. As giddying as musical theatre in the way they shift so eclectically from scene to scene in a flurry of sunshine melodies and grinning orchestrations, the band have already garnered the favour of indie press stalwarts Rough Trade, The Most Radicalist, God Is In The TV, Still Listening, Clunk, Joyzine, Rodeo, Wax and Last Bus Magazine, as well as support slots for Cassia and Boyish. 

Selling out their last london headline show at Paper Dress Vintage in January, the band have also garnered a reputation for inventive, cinematic music videos - with clips for recent singles 'Careless Love' and 'Vin Rosé' each achieving upwards of 200k views on social media on their respective release dates.
