‘When the Sun Comes Up’ is a sentimental reminder of the quintessential British parties and nights out before COVID-19 and endless lockdowns. The dance track invokes these memories of ‘not leaving until the sun comes up’ and also the excitement of when they will return. The single was produced and released quickly, after their recent drop of ‘Charlie’  back in December 2020. EYK stated, ‘What’s great about this song is it was made less than a month ago. And as soon as we recorded it we knew it was gonna be the single. It’s unusual to have such a quick turn around with a tune, so to release this so quickly after making it is really refreshing. The inspiration behind it isn’t anything mind-blowing, it’s just things that you might hear and see on a night out, at a party or at an afters. It’s a (after) party anthem essentially. And we are buzzing to play it out live.’

The music video was made at their home due to the current national restrictions. Yet, this posed no problem for EYK, who accompanied their new release with a DIY video of them acting out the lyrics from the track and bopping around the kitchen with their sister. ‘.. Had a proper laugh making this one! No budget, no crew, no extras, no problem! Filmed, edited and graded by us and our little sister @filmbymaddiek (on insta)’

EYK are a fusion of many influences – from Arctic Monkeys and The Streets to The Prodigy’s Album ‘Fat of the Land’. The bands track ‘Charlie’ sampled The Streets’ lyrics – “Kids on wizz, darling’s on Charlie” – from ‘Weak Become Heroes’. Kirby-Cox also highlighted one of their major influences being 90’s hip-hop. ‘A general massive, massive mention to Nineties hip hop. If we were just making music that sounded like one thing, we’d be limiting ourselves, and not being true to ourself. Our goal was to tap into all of that, pick the best bits, and make our own sound.”

The new track from the up-coming duo perfectly summarises this generations FOMO (fear of missing out) due to COVID-19. After all the cancelled plans, events, gigs and parties of 2020, ‘When the Sun Comes Up’, is a nostalgic reminder of the wild times, which will undoubtedly be the perfect track to play when the pandemic is over.
