Briston Maroney unveils the brand new single, “Sunshine”
Acclaimed Nashville-based artist Briston Maroney has shared new track, “Sunshine”, as the latest offering from his forthcoming album, Ultrapure.
“Sunshine” follows the double single release, “Detonator” / “The Idea”, “Sunburn Fades", and lead single “Body,” which debuted in May via Apple Music’s New Music Daily alongside an interview with Zane Lowe.
Produced by GRAMMY-winner Daniel Tashian (Kacey Musgraves) and engineered by Konrad Snyder (Noah Kahan, Rainbow Kitten Surprise), Ultrapure was crafted in Maroney’s adopted hometown of Nashville, TN and showcases the artist playing every single instrument.
"My favourite moments in the human experience are ones that you don’t even realise have started, but feel so deeply when you realise they’ve ended," Maroney says. "I refer to these as ‘Ultrapure’ moments. This album was my humble, unqualified, and earnest as hell attempt at sitting in those feelings until they had no choice but to burst out of my head. These songs are about a type of pain I hate and love, but mostly have a deep appreciation for."
This Autumn, Maroney will host his second annual Paradise Festival set to return to Brooklyn Bowl Nashville from 12-14 October. Last year’s sold-out inaugural edition was curated in its entirety by the artist himself, who closed out each night with high-energy and celebratory headline sets.
Featuring a handpicked lineup of peers, including Samia, Hovvdy, and Skullcrusher joining this year’s iteration, Maroney always donates a portion of proceeds to supporting Nashville-based nonprofits.
Later this year, Maroney will embark on a headline UK/EU tour in support of Ultrapure. The dates kick off in Brighton on 31 October and culminate in Cologne on 16 November, with stops in Paris, Nijmegen, Amsterdam, and a show at London's Scala on 1 November.
"Sunshine" is out now. Ultrapure arrives on 22 September via Canvasback Music/Parlophone, and is available to pre-order.
