Dada Sun

Home Hearing Records is proud to announce the release of Saccades in Spades, the debut full-length album by Dada Sun - a three-piece garage rock band whose sound merges the immediacy of 90s rock with the experimentation of acts like Sebadoh and The Brian Jonestown Massacre.

The 10-song album was recorded between May and September 2025 at Yin Yang Studio in Chiang Mai, Thailand, with vocals and guitars overdubbed to capture both grit and grandeur. The record was mixed and mastered by Michael Oakley and Simon Denis, maintaining a balance between raw energy and sonic depth.

“About half the songs are high-octane, hard-hitting rock,” says guitarist and lyricist Julian Rogers, citing aggressive standouts like Little Bird, Advice Song, and I’m a Baby. “Then there are the mid-tempo pieces - Krishnas, Hey Jon - and a few that turn inward, like Out on a Wave and From the Top Again. There’s even an acoustic track, called Transmission.”

Rogers describes Saccades in Spades as lyrically open-ended - full of questions, uncertainty, and self-awareness. “I often ask questions in the lyrics,” he says. “In Advice Song, it’s ‘What is there to say? What is there above?’ In Dada Sun, it’s ‘Hey, what did you say?’ There’s a theme of not knowing, of being okay with that. The songs are structured and tight, but the content is open.”

Musically, the record moves between locked-in live grooves and unexpected turns: harmonic layers over heavy riffs (I’m a Baby), shifting rhythms (Little Bird), and bursts of melody that recall a past era without nostalgia. “People say we sound like the 90s,” Rogers adds, “but our influences are broader. There’s as much Can in there as there is Thee Oh Sees. After rock’s collapse on the world stage, there’s a freedom to make what we want to hear - not to fit into some ongoing genre conversation.”
