about

Nearly two years on from their last single release ‘Mushroom Kingdom’, Sunfruits have returned with a new garage-rock anthem, ‘Made To Love’. Engineered by Theo Carbo, produced by Gene Argiro and mixed / mastered by John Lee at Phaedra Studios (The Murlocs, Bananagun), the new single showcases an exciting, fresh direction for the Melbourne/Naarm psychedelic pop group.

‘Made To Love’ is a fiery 2:30 minute track about running away with your soulmate to escape the hellish landscape of life under capitalism. Filled with distorted guitar riffs, duelling vocals, ethereal strings and crunchy bass and drum combo, this track throws it back to the glam-rock sounds of T-Rex and the 70s revivalism of Ty Segall, showcasing a powerful maturity in the band’s sound and songwriting.

Sunfruits frontman Winter McQuinn wrote ‘Made To Love’ while he and his partner Acacia Coates were living in regional Victoria during the 2021 lockdown. McQuinn says “we wrote the lyrics together when we were both feeling the pull and desire to move out of the city and get away from the nine-to-five lifestyle. The song's message follows this desire about wanting to leave the city life behind and enjoy each other's company as we ride out the Apocalypse.”

Complementing the 70s revivalist sound of ‘Made To Love’, the single comes with an equally retro music video directed and edited by the band's guitarist and vocalist on the track, Evie Vlah. Hooning around in a red Ford Mustang, with bright lights, vintage outfits and a stage performance straight out of Countdown, the video aligns perfectly with the song's ode to 70s rock and love.

Sunfruits have been making waves around Melbourne and the Australian music scene for the past 3 years with their environmentally conscious and politically aware lyricism, paired with their contemporary psychedelic pop sound. Their most recent 2021 release, ‘Certified Remixes’ saw the band collaborate with Traffik Island, Hachiku and Candy on three remixes of previously released tracks ‘Above The Clouds’, ‘Mushroom Kingdom’ and ‘Whatever You Want’. Releasing two 7”s and an EP during their time working with Third Eye Stimuli Records and recently Flightless Distro, these releases all received high praise from Triple J, Clash Magazine, Beat Magazine, Tone Deaf, New Commute and more.

lyrics

MADE TO LOVE

Fire, in my throat, Im choking on my breath
Tryna find a way out this godforsaken mess
Would you search for me, in rubble and in smoke
Hope we wake one day and this is all a joke

Ohh baby sometimes I think that I think too much
Got you in my head honey and your just made to love
Just me and you until the last dandelion floats away
Till the earth collapses and we all go up in flame

Now and then I catch myself staring at the sun
the little patches of life left open ended
I’d like to drive away and life live in a van
Never worrying no time to be too sad

Ohh baby sometimes I think that I think too much
Got you in my head honey and your just made to love
Just me and you until the last dandelion floats away
Till the earth collapses and we all go up in flame
