According to the statement, the unreleased material – ‘Today, Tomorrow, Yesterday’, ‘Invade Safe Space’ and ‘Vision Sick’ – represented “three tracks that we couldn’t squeeze onto ‘Ulfilas’ Alphabet’” found on “a dusty old hard drive”.

“This is probably the craziest time in our lives to be writing to you and we hope that everyone is keeping well,” Sundara Karma wrote in the message.

“We had a few big-ish plans for this summer: we were planning on starting to release some new music around this time in May, all in the run up to a new album that has now been put on hold. And like pretty much everyone on planet earth, we did not see a global pandemic being the spanner that was thrust into the works.”

In a four-star review of Sundara Karma’s second album, NME wrote: “Eschewing the anthemic choruses of the band’s last album, ‘Ulfilas’ Alphabet’ takes the listener into semi-psychedelic territory, mixing spectral melodies with bruising guitar lines.

“Sundara Karma’s gigs will still be packed with fans and their trademark glitter-clad costumes, but this time they’ll be singing back whip-smart allusions to gothic literature. I mean, where’s the harm in that?”
