The ‘wooooo’ is a combination of my voice and my partner’s voice. The chorus feels more like the small, vulnerable voice coming from within that big creature. I don’t think it was for any super creative reason, but when I hear the song now it feels like the low voice in the verse represents the feeling of being awkward and unsubtle, like a big creature knocking things over trying to navigate a delicate situation. I’m not sure why I decided to pitch my voice down an octave for this one. No metaphors or clever ways of hinting at things, just putting it out there. This song was inspired by being in love and wanting to express that in a really open and somewhat cheesy way. To me the synth line represents all of the feelings that come with that: excitement, tension and bittersweetness.

The song is about leaving behind an old life and feeling free to leap into something new. I originally had very blown out and scrappy drums on this track but John Lee, who co-produced Possum, re-recorded them on a whim one night and lifted the whole song nicely. It represented how I wanted things to sound, starting with guitar that gave way to synths and a brighter sound in general. This is the first song I started recording for this album. Sowersby was kind enough to take us track by track through Possum - have a listen and get to know! I wanted it to be a bit eclectic, have it go to different places.” If I did have a vision, I guess it’s that I wanted it to be almost like a playlist. It’s less reflective than other stuff I’ve done. “ It’s a much more positive album than previous ones" says Sowersby. Three years later, Sunbeam Sound Machine is back with the next evolution of his sound on third album Possum, an album that marks “a new phase of creativity: a phase marked by vibrancy and a desire to embrace new attitudes regarding his approach to music.”Ī multi-instrumentalist, singer and producer, Sunbeam Sound Machine draws on his deep, diverse skill set on Possum, crafting rich, engrossing soundscapes that encompass everything from psychedelic-pop, alt-rock and electronic compositions, all with a vibrant “indie” sheen, as all manner of swirling synths, driving guitars and pulsating bass lines meet in a beautiful harmony. Bursting onto the scene with his impressive brand of bedroom pop was Nick Sowersby AKA Sunbeam Sound Machine back in 2014, with his acclaimed (and sought after on vinyl if you check the discogs page) debut LP Wonderer, followed up in 2019 with Goodness Gracious.
