In reference to “Mad Men” (Single 2020)
”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.”
The Other Side Reviews, DE
In reference to “Mad Men” (Single 2020)
”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.”
Chalkpit Records, UK
In reference to “Go Greta” (Single 2021)

”Set as a social commentary for the modern times, the music is fitting as it is highlighting. Beautifully
and electronically crafted to a dance beat which makes the undanceable subject entertaining. This
sound is infectious, to say the least.”

Jammerzine, US

”Laissez vous prendre par ces compositions astucieuses, pleines de rayons d’un soleil aveuglant qui
n’empêche pas de réfléchir tout en dansant.”
Concert Monkey, BE
In reference to “Spark” (Album 2022)
”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.”
Hymn, SE
In reference to “Spark” (Album 2022)
”The dive into “Thirty Years Asleep” brings you right into Sunstroke Rain’s stimulating and alluring
musical atmosphere.There is always something new to listen to, with eccentric melodies and varying
synth tones.As “Thirty Years Asleep” prepares to fade out and guide you into the rest of Sunstroke
Rain’s album ’Spark,’ you are left feeling inspired and ready to take on whatever comes ahead.”
