Kiwi surf-rock six-piece SOJØURN deliver some seriously coastal vibes with the groove-infused new single ‘Chasing Sunsets’, out Fri 21 Jan on Meow. Complimented by a chilled-out video starring beachside hangs & coastal drives, ‘Chasing Sunsets’ brilliantly captures an endless summer mood. SOJØURN have been whipping up a storm on tour and digitally recently, winning over crowds & critics, with this single being their latest from the eagerly anticipated forthcoming EP ‘Mystic Ways’.
The critically acclaimed east-coast groovers are set to realise their potential with the new EP set for release on February 22, 2022. Produced by Connor Jaine of Mako Road, it’s a body of work that brilliantly captures their true sound, and showcases the band’s recent journey through change, adversity, loss and positive growth. Drawing on influences including Ocean Alley, Mild Orange and The Black Seeds, ‘Mystic Ways’ is a celebration of the good times; and a mature acknowledgement of how they got there. It’s the fresh soundtrack for summer, and exactly what we all need right now.
With youth on their side, SOJØURN have been earmarked by critics and fans as a band on the rise with lofty ambitions. Their joyfully cruisy debut Summer Tape EP (2019) received favourable airplay across their home country, with singles ‘Stand Up’, ‘How It Grows’ and latest ‘Saturday Sipping’ earning the band a fast-growing fanbase that is absolutely frothing for the next release. Alongside notable festival appearances incl Bay Dreams and Soundsplash, SOJØURN have shared stages with like-minded established artists including Mako Road, Summer Thieves, The Butlers and Sons of Zion.
Hailing from the sun-drenched surf-town of Mangawhai, NZ, SOJØURN are made up of members Isaac Hunter (Lead Vocals / Guitar) James Finlay ( Lead Guitar / BV) Jim Bokma (Drums) Tony Baker (Bass) Jacob O’Brien ( Saxophone / BV) and Elias Giles ( Keys).
