Eleni Drake’s second album  - 2023's 'Surf The Sun' - is the sound of the sun’s glow on your face, feeling your spirit reach back for it, breaking through the dirt and sprouting into something better. It’s the sound of riding a wave, euphoric, terrified, spat out somewhere new with a sense of purpose. It’s an album about change, freedom, healing, painful goodbyes and a future of possibilities. “I’m a Leo, the sun rules me, and I’ve always had a deep connection with it,” explains Drake, who references the sun on almost all of the album’s 11 tracks. “[The album] is an ode to the sun.”

At the album’s core is Drake’s ultimate discovery of freedom and empowerment. “What I hope people understand is that an element of liberation and feeling free runs through the album. Despite some sombre undertones, it was made to inspire,” says Drake.

 What she’s created is a glorious wave to ride; a sun-drenched reminder that the gloom gives way to summer.

Released May 19th 2023 via Eleni's own Vanilla Sky Recordings.
