Karin Turesson (an anagram of Sunstroke Rain) has played earlier with artists such as Ebbot, Tingsek, Nina Persson (Cardigans) Annika Norlin and Robyn. She now performs her own songs backed up by Ingrid Tidvall & Sofie Gottschalk creating sophisticated eletronic pop where the sounds are meticulously worked out. The music is performed with keyboards, mics, backing tracks and a big bottom end filled with swampish heavy and gurgly Moog bass.
The sharp lyrics describe and comment on our ever changing contemporary society.

Sunstroke Rain’s debut album ”Spark” released in 2022, received critical acclaim and notable airplay, including a tribute to Greta Thunberg on KEXP and the latest release, 2024 ”Life is sacred”, a collaboration with producer @merabhai.

”Sunstroke Rain is an extraordinary Artpop act from Sweden expressing individuality and sophisticated sonic experiences. Their latest single Mad Men is a triumphant release bound with attitude. This flowing release is rhythmic while remaining laidback. Expect a blanket of lush harmonies and groovy bass lines making this a track you will happily get lost in.”

INTERVJU

”Sunstroke Rain is the provocative and playful alt-electro project from Swedish singer-songwriter and producer, Karin Turesson. Having spent many years perfecting her craft and accumulating an impressive roster of artists she’s worked with, including Robyn, it’s no wonder that she felt driven to start sharing her own creations as Sunstroke Rain.”

RECENSION

”The melody has an amazing dynamic movement that is completely genre-defying. Each line in the melody brings something new, but they all combine perfectly for a full textured soundscape, a wonderful listening experience. If you are looking for a song that is unlike any other, this is the one that you need.”

RECENSION

”Bakom artistnamnet Sunstroke Rain hittas Karin Turesson och hennes mjuka och 90-tals-doftande synthpop – med stänk av soul och R&B – är ett måste för alla som gillar analog- och retro-inspirerad popmusik. Musiken präglas av nyfikenhet, medvetna texter och stor kärlek till att skapa spännande ljudexperiment.”
