Conceived as \"the soundtrack to a movie that doesn't yet exist,\" the 13-track album, helmed by longtime producer Eric Palmquist (MUTEMATH, Thrice) at his Palmquist Studios and the band's North Hollywood rehearsal spot, is more conceptually rigorous than anything they've ever attempted - but no less compelling or accessible. \"We also knew we wanted the album to have a through-line, a story from beginning to end,\" frontman Christo Bowman explains, so the band did what any good directors would: They assembled a mood board, filtering their neo-noir version of Los Angeles through the dreamlike haziness of author Haruki Murakami, the futuristic flair of Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Blade Runner, and the lifted cinematography of Spike Jonze's HER. These disparate influences don't just offer APOCALYPSE WHENEVER an expanded palette of sonic choices to color Bad Sun's airtight hooks - they help give the songs an emotional complexity that works on a multitude of levels depending on how listeners choose to receive them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApocalypse Whenever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Summer Lightning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Baby Blue Shades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Peachy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e When the World Was Mine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wishing Fountains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Electric Circus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Nightclub (Waiting for You)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Life Was Easier When I Only Cared About Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Heaven Is a Place in My Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Silently Sreaming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Grace (I Think I'm in Love Again)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Symphony of Lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50400837173522,"sku":"045778777921","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/4013503-2748131.jpg?v=1729117983","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/bad-suns-apocalypse-whenever-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
