Musically, ‘Sunsigns’ is dream-pop in all its shimmering glory. Glistening, jangly guitars and gentle tambourine initially surround Fiona’s gorgeous, yearning vocal before driving drums and busy hi-hats sweep everything forward. Her delivery really is propulsive, carrying the song along with the same breathless excitement as its subject. But it’s the chord changes that provide the real magic, bringing little rushes of emotion that perfectly capture those butterflies-in-your-stomach beginnings of falling for someone.

That romantic mysticism spills beautifully into the accompanying video. Inspired by The Love Witch, its rich, retro world finds Fiona applying vivid ’60s-style eye make-up, reading tarot cards by candlelight and cuddling a black cat, while characters from the cards themselves spring to life. Eventually gathering together in one wonderfully theatrical tableau, they turn ‘Sunsigns’ into a playful celebration of looking absolutely everywhere for a sign.

Fiona Tagami’s feather-light vocal is once again the song’s beating heart, drifting effortlessly above delicate instrumentation with an almost weightless quality. While ‘Bluebells’ leaned further into whimsy, ‘So Sweet’ unfolds at a gentler pace, trading some of that brightness for something more reflective without ever losing its dreamlike charm. The feeling of finding peace after difficult times quietly reveals itself rather than announcing itself, allowing moments of hope to shimmer beneath the song’s wistful surface. The accompanying video perfectly extends that atmosphere, weaving together dreamy theatre stage performances with scenes on the beach and beneath the lights of a funfair, creating a hazy, almost nostalgic world that feels suspended somewhere between memory and imagination.

Speaking about the song, Fiona says: “I wrote this song right after spending a week straight in the hospital after complications with a surgery. Once I got out of the bland, grey room, everything seemed brighter and sweeter… Forgiveness, sweetness. I felt very at peace.” That sense of quiet renewal lingers throughout ‘So Sweet’, making it another gorgeously understated release from a band that continues to craft songs as delicate as they are emotionally resonant.

Speaking about the new song, Fiona shares, “This song is my reaction to seeing men get indoctrinated into an ideology that tells them lust is sin and seeing the blame get placed on women. This makes me feel like a knife because I am in the body of a woman and can inspire feelings of desire separate from my own soul. Seeing the bodies of women become detached from their minds. Like dolls… “

An official music video for the track is also out now, which was co-directed by Fiona and creative Owen Lehman, who has previously worked with Geese and MX LONELY. The video features the four-piece band performing in a wood-drenched, gothic church, interspersed with spiritual visions and increasingly intense imagery as the song bursts at the seams. Mirroring the pressurized burden of sexuality placed on women, blood begins to spill from the grasp of a knife as the emotional toll worsens.
