UK-Based songwriter Sunbrella returns with his unique and diverse new single, “Heartworn”. Laced with fast-paced drum beats with striking guitar chords and Sunnbrella’s easy-going vocals, transporting listeners to a beachside location. Tracks such as “A Week Or So” combine a melancholic undertone with an upbeat, indie rhythm. The album’s title track “Heartworn” explores the sad indie side of his songwriting style. The entire project is composed using old-school breaks and at times, leans more towards rave than a melancholic indie record – as Sunnbrella explains the album “Was originally titled ‘Dancefloor Daydreams’. I wanted to get more dance rhythms into the dream-pop/indie/shoegaze sound that I was working with up until that point, and put more of an emphasis on the beats, even with the more traditional songs.”
