Hailing from Dublin, Ireland, Sun Mahshene emerged in 2018, breathing new life into the Indie and Shoegaze scenes.

Comprising six diverse members from Ireland, the United Kingdom, and Poland, Sun Mahshene provide a musical journey that transcends genres, dubbing their sound ‘Post-Shoegaze’ for the masses.

Championed by the likes of Amazing Radio, BBC Across The Line, BBC Radio 1, RTÉ 2FM, 98 FM, Hotpress and more, the band have defined themselves as a stand-out act in the country's thriving music industry. Intertwining elements of shoegaze, indie and alternative rock, Sun Mahshene nod to the likes of My Bloody Valentine, Bell X1 and Delorentos, but lean much deeper into the atmospheric, nostalgic character of their sound. On the single’s meaning, lead singer and songwriter Nathan Henderson explained:

“The lyrics aspire to inspire the listener to rise above limitations and chase their highest aspirations. This song celebrates the courage to pursue greatness and the relentless spirit that refuses to settle for less.“

Laden with blistering shoegaze intent, it’s a joyous, forceful and uplifting track, with a slight tinge of melancholy to keep us grounded. Rightfully proud of its credentials, it channels shoegaze, anthemic indie and grunge-tinged alternative rock, right to the centre of its shimmering core. As with their previous releases, ‘New Shores’ and ‘Reverie’, it also features RIDE’s Mark Gardener at the controls on mastering duties.

"Very much in the Shoegaze vein, which is a good thing by me, as a massive Shoegaze fan. You'll detect elements of My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive in the sound world of what it is that they do. Mastered by a true Shoegazer, Mark Gardner from Ride - it's a greatsong!" - Stephen McCauley BBC Radio Belfast
