Interview by Kris Peters
British rock outfit Boston Manor are gearing up for the release of their new album, Sundiver, which will hit the airwaves on September 6.
Celebrating new beginnings, second chances and rebirth, Sundiver is the next chapter of a story that began with the 2022 album Datura, but, unlike the bleaker undertones of that record, Sundiver sees things through more rose-coloured glasses.
The culmination of two years work and four years of planning, Boston Manor always knew going into the pandemic that their next record would be a double album released in two parts: the first, a shadowy-noir electronic record conceptually set over one night (Datura) and a second sprawling rock record that documents the following day (Sundiver).
The fact that the album has already spawned four successful singles is a fair indication of the quality of the material, with Container, Sliding Doors, Heat Me Up and Horses In A Dream all providing a glimpse into the musical majesty Boston Manor have created.
HEAVY sat down with frontman Henry Cox to find out more.
"We've been working on this record for four years, really," he measured. "It's crazy to think about, so it's pretty surreal to have it coming out there in the world. I'm excited to hear what people think of it."
We ask if he is feeling anxious, nervous or keen to get it out there with the release so close after so much work.
"Kind of a mix of all three, to be honest with you," he smiled. "It's weird having sat on a record for so long. I've not done that before. Usually six months or whatever you get into the whole rollout thing, but with this one we've had an early version of the mixes for almost a year now, so we've been sitting with it for a minute. I'm happy to say that we're not bored of it yet. We really enjoy listening to this record. I am quite keen to just get it out there. We just started playing some of the songs of the record live which is really refreshing and super fun. It's obviously part of a double album concept with our previous record, so we put a lot into that, so I'm keen to just let people hear it.'
