Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever — “Sunburned In London” [Video]

Sun-Soaked and City-Dazed: Rolling Blackouts C.F. Stretch Out on “Sunburned in London”

There’s something about a new Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever song that feels like stepping onto a busy street right at golden hour. Traffic humming. Friends talking over each other. Guitars chiming like they’re bouncing off the buildings.

Their latest single, “Sunburned in London,” is the first fresh cut since Endless Rooms, and it plays like a slow build you don’t want to end. It cruises past the six-minute mark, carried by soft but steady vocals, layered guitars that shimmer and blur together, and a rhythm section that just keeps pushing forward. It’s less sprint, more long nighttime walk home with your head buzzing.

Tom Russo says the band keeps writing about cities, and you can hear it. The track captures that wired, slightly woozy feeling when everything looks beautiful but you’re running on fumes. Too many lights. Too many sounds. Still, you don’t want the night to stop. It’s classic RBCF territory, sitting comfortably next to older favorites like Hope Downs, Sideways to New Italy, and Endless Rooms.

The new live video, filmed at Northcote Theatre, adds even more lift. Extra voices from Stella Donnelly, Sophie Ozard, and Julia Wallace thicken the harmonies, giving the whole thing a loose, communal feel. It’s the kind of performance where you can almost feel the floorboards shake.

If you’ve followed them since the early EP days of Talk Tight and The French Press, you already know the deal. Jangly hooks. Big skies. Human-scale stories. No filler. Just songs that stick with you.
