“The summer sun came early that year … but we didn’t question a thing.”

Exploded View is: Annika Henderson, Martin Thulin, Hugo Quezada and Amon Melgarejo.

After finishing the songs that became their self-titled debut LP for Sacred Bones, Exploded View decided to go back into the studio and record some more. Mixed in with some of the outtakes of the first record, such as “Mirror of the Madman,” the songs on Summer Came Early signal a step forward for the band, revealing more clarity and focus than the first, yet retaining a certain messy experimentalism that gives them the freedom they crave.

In case you missed it, the new video from Exploded View - Orlando (Official Music Video)

We will be touring the EU + (UK) in Summer 2016 and hopefully the US in the fall too! check it.

Reflecting on the song's title 'Orlando', Anika issued the following statement:

"The song 'Orlando' was written at the end of 2014, and its video was completed

shortly before the terrible events in Orlando, FL, in the early hours of June 12th, when the most deadly mass shooting in the United States shook the country, the world and the queer community to its core, as the targets were clearly chosen, simply for being who they were, conducted in a space that has traditionally been one of protection, a safe haven for the queer community for decades: the dance floor.

Quoting from Virginia Woolf's iconic novel Orlando: a Biography (1928), “Life, it sings, or croons rather, like a kettle on a hob, Life, life what art thou?”, as the main character has become a symbol to all those who believe they can free themselves from the restrictions imposed on our bodies, on our freedoms, to or from; the song is a celebration of life's simple pleasures; of union in our differences. In the wake of our

pain, when some have downplayed the chosen identity of the victims, while others may have concentrated solely on that, it is important to remember that this affects all of us. Whatever happens, dance floors should continue to be a space for freedom of expression, for life's simple pleasures and a safe haven for so many communities around the world."

The new track to be released from the self-titled forthcoming album, due out in August this year, is Orlando. Check it.

“The album was born from single take recordings made in Mexico City with bandmates Martin Thulin (Producer of Crocodiles), Hugo Quezada and Hector Melgarejo. While ‘No More Parties’ reflected the sort of roughness you’d expect from an entirely improvised album, the new ‘Orlando’ takes a much more subtle and delicate approach. Over an eerie guitar shimmer and drum shuffle, Henderson delivers wistful, haunting vocals that lock right into the tense groove. It’s a testament to their chemistry and a good reason to keep an eye out for their debut this summer.” FACT MAG

What form is best for poems? Let me think Of forms less, and the external. Trust the spirit, As Sovran nature does, to make the form; For otherwise we only imprison spirit And not embody. Inward evermore To outward, — so in life, and so in art Which still is life.
