”Rodan” is a dancable-but-sad pop/shoegaze song. Rodan, of course, is a Kaiju. A Japanese movie monster like Godzilla. “That’s who I felt like while writing the lyrics” guitarist Cordelia says. Rodan was the first Kaiju movie made in color, and that’s a fitting symbolism to Spunsugars new material. With glittery guitars, synthwavey drums and Felix’s thumping railroad bass the song is equally yesterday, today and tomorrow in its sound. Elin’s vocals are clear, controlled and encourages you to listen. It solidifies a new direction for the band who feels they’ve come into their own as a unity more than ever.
Spunsugar is an alternative rock band with shoegaze influencers based in Malmö, Sweden, with roots in the small town bible belt country side. The trio has different musical backgrounds which has led media to express praise for their elaboration and new take on the dark and pulsing nature of the post-punk sound and deliver it through a completely new and diverse contemporary lens, incorporating both goth and electronic elements. After an EP and some introductory singles they 2020 released their thunderous and anthemic debut album ‘Drive-Through Chapel’. The album put them on the map as one of the most exciting bands coming out of the scene and Scandinavia with media support from Steve Lamacq at BBC 6Music, The Independent, The Line of Best Fit, Nothing but Hope and Passion and much more.
Like the debut album this new track is produced by Joakim Lindberg at Studio Sickan, Malmö.

"If we were to list our favorite discoveries of the year, Sweden’s Spunsugar would likely be on it. The trio of Elin Ramstedt, Cordelia Moreau, and Felix Sjöström are a bridge to the past and the present. Their music is entrenched in the classic sounds of early ’90s shoegaze and layered with the harsh tones of contemporary post-punk.”

Rodan
I can get in a frenzy
Where I’m starved and I can see
My hands
How They both start to scramble
All of my thoughts in shambles
Smallness is dead
I can get in a frenzy
Where I’m starved and I can see
My hands
How They both start to scramble
All of my thoughts in shambles
Smallness is dead
Only high percents and pills
Until all the anger’s stilled
Don’t have
to shine the spit filled grills
Rearrange all my stills
Silenced my head
Until all the anger’s stilled
Don’t have
to shine the spit filled grills
Rearrange all my stills
Silenced my head
All black eyes and arteries seething
don’t mean to do
Whatever I will do
There is tar in my simmering vessels
There is tar in my simmering vessels
don’t mean to do
Whatever I will do
There is tar in my simmering vessels
There is tar in my simmering vessels
Settings all set on full stirred
Put this in the multiverse
Will eat
land, trams, children, man
A five foot four Rodan
Destroy a whole town
Put this in the multiverse
Will eat
land, trams, children, man
A five foot four Rodan
Destroy a whole town
Bet that someone
Way up in our tree
Came out of Ipoly
Way up in our tree
Came out of Ipoly
Fucked it all up
Passed it all down
Right to me
All black eyes and arteries seething
don’t mean to do
Whatever I will do
There is tar in my simmering vessels
There is tar in my simmering vessels
x2
don’t mean to do
Whatever I will do
There is tar in my simmering vessels
There is tar in my simmering vessels
