Bad Suns have premiered a new song titled "Slow Karma." This track is from the band's new album "Accelerator," which will be released on August 8.
Frontman Christo Bowman commented on the song:
“I was at a point in my life where it was becoming abundantly clear to me that I needed to make some changes in order to progress and live the life that I really wanted. Getting sober is really hard, but then it quickly becomes the most rewarding thing in the world. ‘Slow Karma’ is about accepting that this is gonna be difficult. And I don’t know exactly what’s ahead, but I know this is the direction I’m supposed to be moving down. I can’t control the world around me, but I can control the way that I react to the events taking place and the way that I move through the world.”
He also added the following about the album:
“We saw the Infinite Joy EP as a new beginning for the band. I felt this yearning once again. ‘Accelerator’ being our fifth album, our first studio album as a trio, and the first album of my 30s, we knew that this was going to be really important. We didn’t want to take that lightly. We asked ourselves, how do we live up to the occasion? We saw this album as a mountain we wanted to climb.
My 20s were a challenging time with a lot of peaks and a lot of valleys. There’s a lot of joy, a lot of mistakes. This album is ultimately about finding the strength within yourself to assess the damage that’s been done and make the changes that you need to in order to take control of your own life.”
