Lucifer Sunshine and the artfully skipping sardonic smile of "I Get High"

 

"I get high when I get low / everybody knows..."

Like a red cast glitter ball moment in a Twin Peaks dream, the ethereal and syrupy sweet "I Get High" by Lucifer Sunshine feels gleefully drunk and starry eyed beautiful. The Swedish tropical pop treats fill the song with 50's doo wop skips, 60's psychedelic Brit pop reflections, 70's glam, 90's art rock and more. The wonky bass walks, the guitar work that gently dips into dissonance and the lovely vocals full front and background are all perfect. Like an amalgam of truly artful and sardonic smiling bands like Mister Heavenly, Sparks, Of Montreal, T-Rex, The Kinks, Lucifer Sunshine's aesthetic is what I need right now.

Lucifer Sunshine got its name in the spring of 2020 when five friends and former music collaborators got together in a rehearsal room in Stockholm, all with a shared love for british pop-psychedelia and american westcoast pop. Our ambition from the very start was to write and produce music together on our own terms.

Singles:

Armand Jones/Hawaiian Baby Woodpecker (2020)

Backhand Mats/F.0 82 (2021)

Jennifer Aniston/Kind Regards with all our Love/Huldra (2021)

Talkin’ to Jesus (2023)

Early 2022, the band made some brief appearances around Stockholms underground music scenes before finishing the upcoming album Music for the Body and Mind (release date: June 9, 2023)
