Today see’s the release of London based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Sands brand new double A-side single, ‘Tomorrow’s Gone’ / ‘Burning Man’ via Spaghetti Sounds. Composed, produced and performed by Sands himself, the single follows on from his sophomore EP “Waves Calling”.

‘Burning Man’, sets the mood immediately with its wave of reverb-soaked bent guitar notes and djembe drum-beats; a tenacious yet gentle psychedelic experience. Sands’ vocals are almost ritualistic in their delivery, as the layered chants of “the burning man” rhythmically twist and turn over the drums and guitar, taking the listener into what feels like another dimension, a kaleidoscopic universe. Sound samples from film and TV add another layer.

On the double A-side single, Sands comments, “‘Burning Man’ is something I had for quite some time, basically I was just waiting for the right moment to put it out, and this seemed a good match. ‘Tomorrow’s Gone’ is on my latest EP – ‘Waves Calling’ – it’s a new wave/electronic track. This version was the original demo. I went more 60’s psychedelic, and thought it was good enough to be mixed and put out just leaving it like that, quite bare and mantra-like till the end crescendo. I think here lies the soul of the song”.
