Bipolar Sunshine - Love More Worry Less

Released September 18th 2013




2013 is really shaping up to be the year of the new artist, brilliant music coming from a vast assortment of different genres from all over the UK and showing that we truly are the leading power in the music scene, today’s artist is the alternative indie outfit, Bipolar Sunshine and really shows the creative melting pot is really throwing out some amazing stuff.

You may have seen my review of Rivers, taken from the debut EP ‘Aesthetics’ which in my opinion is one of the most beautiful and sublimely performed pieces of music released so far this year, today’s track, ‘Love More Worry Less’ walks in the very impressive footprints of its predecessor and delivers the goods. The song opens with the hard hitting line “another pregnant girl, underage” giving you a glimpse of how Britain works as a nation, people casting judgement on others on how they appear on the surface rather than digging a little deeper to find the facts. The message of the entire song is clear as soon as you read the title, Love More Worry Less, and it’s something as people we should really consider.

The song has an anthemic and atmospheric sound to it making you feel the sheer scope and size as you listen, the inclusion of others singing along to the hook adds to the amazingly. The song is one of an ultimately positive message, giving people basic advice that they probably forget in normal life and offering help to people should they need it.


At its simplest this track is a work of art, the lyricism has deep meaning and is truly believed by the singer Adio Marchant, the sound is well put together and works to beautiful effect with the vocals. The track will no doubt go down terrifically at live shows with plenty of opportunity for the crowd to get involved. The song is effective on so many levels and will leave the listener thinking about their own life afterwards, in my opinion what separates a good song from a great song is its power to resonate in the listeners thoughts for time after and this has that ability in massive amounts.

Bipolar Sunshine - Rivers

Video released June 13th 2013


Before I begin the review I'd like to take you on the journey of how I discovered Bipolar Sunshine and like most of my stories it begins with me scrolling through the 14,000+ tracks on my iPod looking for something to listen to until finally reaching a track I hadn't heard in a while, the track I stumbled upon this time happened to be Kid British with "Our House is Dadless". Back in 2010 this track was on a constant loop for me and featuring in almost every playlist I created, I'd recently discovered The King Blues and my ska punk hunger was forcing me to devour anything with fast lyrics and catchy instrumentals. After listening to "Our House Is Dadless" again I wondered what had happened with the band, I'd heard they'd broke up in late 2012 but nothing else, giving lead singer Adio Marchants's name a Google lead me to his new project, Bipolar Sunshine and their debut EP Aesthetics.

Now you know the origins of me finding this track I'm going to move on to airing my views of it as best I can.

The good news is that it's absolutely fantastic, the bad news is as of yet you've got minimal material to listen to as Bipolar Sunshine have barely been going any time at all. The song has a quality to it that makes it seem like a classic even if you've never listened to it before, I'm not saying in it's sheer quality and it is brilliant, it's more in the sound and tone making it sound far more mature.

The brilliance of the track in my opinion is down to how much different it is to the previous material released by Marchant, to change your sound so drastically and still produce something of such worth is a difficult feat for most artists, even established musicians can find it a struggle but this seems somehow natural, it just works fantastically.

There's just something so charming and interesting about this new project that I'm just too excited for future releases, Marchant has struck gold with this project, he's proving that he can be upbeat and poppy with Kid British while making something experimental but still accessible.
