Following up on their critically acclaimed sophomore album Roots, Swedish roots rockers Children of the Sun have returned with their newest single “Sugar (Shape of a Gun) from their forthcoming third studio album LEAVING GROUND, GREET THE END due out this fall. “Sugar (Shape of a Gun) combines catchy vintage vibes with feminine urge and a mean punch. Sugar (Shape of a Gun) shows off how Children of the Sün’s sound has progressed and matured into 2024.
“Recorded live in Wilma Nea (Keyboards/Vocals) family home in Mörtnäs”, “Sugar” is all about explosive, playful love and lust. We aimed to capture an authentic and intimate atmosphere, infusing the track with a raw and unfiltered energy. Imagine yourself cruising in a shiny ’67 Impala, with the radio turned up to the max – yes, we’ve magically cranked the volume knob up to eleven! The sunglasses are so cool they almost defy the laws of nature, and the ultimate summer hit is blasting from the speakers.”

About Children of the Sün:
Since 2019, Children of the Sün has been delivering a powerful sound that merges rock, blues, and folk music into a timeless experience. With a mix of classic harmonies and gripping riffs, they create a psychedelic and soulful atmosphere that evokes feelings of freedom, love, and a deep connection to nature. Like a musical goulash of Fleetwood Mac, Ghost and ABBA, the band offers a unique fusion of lightness and depth, both honoring and transforming classic rock music.
Following a standout performance at the Sweden Rock Festival and the release of the music video for their catchy single “Come With Us,” their latest album “Roots” (Sign Records, 2022) takes you on an emotional journey through life, with nature as a constant companion. The song “Leaves” ranked in the top five on Aftonbladet’s list of the best rock songs of 2022, and the band has been mentioned in publications such as Rolling Stone Magazine, PROG and Sweden Rock Magazine affirming their presence and impact.
