Read what the band stated on their bandcamp:
“SUNSTRIKES came together in the heat of the summer, fervent, sweaty, bright and exploding. We set course for new skies, higher ambitions and higher temperatures. Of course, the South Hill Spirit chased us down. Fortuitous collaborations led to features from Jeff Parker and CARM and the blessed us with the rhythms of Mano and Garry. As temperatures soared into triple digits, we realized there was no shelter from the sun’s swelter. Welcome to album two, our tribute to that glowing orb.”
