Tasmanian electronic duo Sumner return with their captivating new single, ‘Starlight’, ahead of releasing their Retrograde EP on Fri 14 Feb and embarking on their debut headline tour, kicking off the same day.

Recorded at Frying Pan studios, located within Mona Museum in Hobart, ‘Starlight’ is a shimmering exploration of the moment lust blooms into love. The track is drenched in mesmerising synths and heartfelt lyricism, with the quintessential love song marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Sumner leading into the release of their Retrograde EP. Radiating both emotional depth and sonic sophistication, ‘Starlight’ invites listeners to lose themselves in its intoxicating glow. The duo explains,

“Starlight is all about the feeling of realising that lust is turning into love, being transfixed and mesmerised by a person so much that they occupy every corner of your mind. We love writing love songs, and this one feels like a quintessential Sumner love song record. It marks a new era of Sumner ahead of the release of our upcoming EP, with our sound maturing and evolving just as we have as people.”

Produced and directed by Sumner and Lusy Productions, the music video for ‘Starlight’ showcases the gorgeous landscapes of their home state of Tasmania, from rugged terrain to snow-capped mountains and the wilds of the wilderness, perfectly encapsulating the essence of the song and its vast, lush soundscapes. The gorgeous feelgood atmospheric video was honored by ABC landing ‘Feature Video’ on RAGE as soon as it was released.
