Slap On The 'Sunscreen' - Ball Park Music Just Dropped A Hot New Track
"Songs like this always make me nervous because I get lured into thinking that perhaps they’re inauthentic."
Queensland indie mainstays Ball Park Music have just shared their brand new single, Sunscreen - their first new single in over a year.
Speaking on the process of piecing the tune together, frontperson Sam Cromack explained “This is a classic example of what I like to call a patchwork song...From nowhere, and for no particular reason, you suddenly assemble a song from all these unrelated sketches that you haven’t been able to finish."
Cromack continued, "songs like this always make me nervous because I get lured into thinking that perhaps they’re inauthentic; that there’s no theme or through-line. But songs like this are cool, they work in a mysterious way. Their fragmented lines come from all over your mind to congregate and share some special message that’s been dying to get out."
The singer says that the whole thing had a certain magical quality in the way that it finally came into one cohesive tune. "Sometimes it feels fateful even. This song was like a slap in the face. It said, ‘Hey bozo you’re hopelessly addicted to your phone. Time to put that shit down!’. So, here it is. Sunscreen. Protect yourself out there!”
