VNV Nation has a new album out, ‘Electric Sun’, 5 years after previous studio album ‘Noire’

VNV Nation returns with the all new album “Electric Sun” on Metropolis Records for the American market. “Electric Sun” is out in a very limited edition 2 LP clear vinyl edition along with a 16 page booklet digipak compact disc as well as through all digital and streaming platforms.

For Ronan Harris it’s his first new material under the VNV Nation flag since 2018’s “Noire”.

VNV Nation’s own label also releases a deluxe limited boxset limited to 1500 copies with exclusive artwork, a double vinyl album, the cd album, a 12″ with two extended versions, a deluxe 44 page hardcover book with illustrations by the band’s long-term partners Rodolfo Reyes and Michal Karcz and a few other extras.

As Ronan describes the album : "Electric Sun resonates deeply with me. There have been revelations and epiphanies in its making. There are sides to it where I've expressed things in ways I hadn't until now. It's allowed me to explore and reach new levels in the kind of music I make. I said on stage a few times that the next one would be darker. It was more a feeling than a conscious choice. Now, I don't mean darker in an 'alone in a concrete cellar at 2am on a Saturday' or 'my hunchback brother fell down a well and now I'm sad' kind of way. You don't plan creativity but you can curate and guide it. You are a vessel for it and, if you're like me, you let it do its thing. It's not the tools themselves but what they enable you to do. I find this album to be more emotive than usual, at times reaching some intensity. A lot was waiting to come out, I guess. I think you'll understand what I mean once you've heard it. From the title track 'Electric Sun' to songs like 'Prophet', 'Run', 'Sunflare' and 'At Horizon's end', there's a cinematic-size scale to what I've made here. If you want, the album will make you dance, or ask you to think or make you smile and, at times, it might well put dust in your eye. I find it hard to grasp what I've achieved on this and I can't wait for you to hear it."
