Cape Town’s fast rising post-punkers return with “Babylon”, an expansive two-part single recorded live in one uninterrupted take in Sonic Nursery’s Live Room. The nearly seven-minute long recording moves seamlessly from the haunting, vocal-led intensity of Babylon I into the heavier, instrumental catharsis on Babylon II.
Rooted in the theme of desire’s consuming force and the miracle of release, Babylon I & II capture Sueños’ signature atmosphere: raw and instinctive. Recorded without a click track, the song preserves the immediacy and energy that defines the band’s ethos. “We wanted ‘Babylon’ to feel alive, dangerous and redemptive – a single breath from tension to release”.
- Written, Produced and Performed by Sueños
- Recorded and Mixed by Ruan Vos at Sonic Nursery
