Caravăna Sun is an Australian Surf Rock Band, originating from the Southern Beaches of Sydney. Their sound and live performance draws out hypnotic and euphoric energy, which is truly infectious to any crowd that they play for. This is comprised of their ability to splice elements of electronic and live instrumentation, the blending of genres and the band's drive to create music that truly represents them.
They have spent 2023 travelling the world, playing in numerous countries and festivals. The band performed at Boardmasters and Boomtown in the United Kingdom, as well as ‘Summer In the City’, ‘Reggae Sun Ska’ and 'Madness‘ in Europe. These experiences of performing for crowds around the UK and Europe inspired them to delve into the Eurodance Space. This led to the inspiration of ‘Hearts Awake’.
‘Hearts Awake’ is an inspiring summer anthem that represents “embracing hard times and coming out triumphant with an optimistic joy and determination to keep our hearts open to life’s wonder” (Caravăna Sun). The song and verse begin with a driving synth bass, creating a dark atmosphere that encapsulates a beautiful contrast with the soft melancholic vocals. The lyrics feel like you are being understood of those negative emotions, but it's time to heal. The pre-chorus leads you to remove the Veil that has shrouded your vision. You are then transported into hope and freedom, once the chorus has arrived, which leads you to live in the moment. This is captured with bright, arpeggiated synths and a catchy hook that leaves you wanting more.
Caravăna Sun worked with producer and ‘Eskimo Joe’ guitarist Joel Quatermain (Meg Mac, Dan Sultan) and Engineer Peter Holz (Gang Of Youths, Vance Joy, Peking Duk). Their influence and skills with production have led Caravăna Sun to create their most polished sound while maintaining their well-known style.
Caravăna Sun has truly encapsulated such a complex concept in their track‚ 'Hearts Awake’. The song feels like your consciousness is telling you: It's time to open your heart, overcome and learn from your tragedy. And I think you will find, it's worth so much more to open your heart than to remain forever closed.
