The DATSUNS – one of Aotearoa/New Zealand’s most celebrated rock bands, the first band out of the Southern Hemisphere to make waves on the early 2000s rock explosion (they toured with the White Stripes, Queens of the Stone Age, Metallica and others) and arguably the only band of the era who have undeniably kept getting better – have today released the second single Run From The Sun from their forthcoming new album Moonstruck Man.
Run From The Sun is a heavy, hypnotic and spacious slice of desert rock. Driven by a bluesy bassline and killer fuzz riffs, the track combines the chunky force of ’70s hard rock with the dreamy, expansive atmosphere of psychedelia. Its release follows the album’s first single (and title track) Moonstruck Man – a gloriously rambling slice of 1970s-inspired rock packed with wailing wah, scorching guitars, high-register vocals and flashes of prog and glam-rock eccentricity.
