Tax included.

 Coming out on September 6th on Sharptone Records, Sundiver is Boston Manor’s fifth album and one that represents a 

glimmering dawn for the Blackpool five-piece. Grown from a seedbed of optimism and sobriety, the LP celebrates new 
beginnings, second chances and rebirth. With two members recently stepping into fatherhood, hope is baked into every 
note. “Datura came out of these really dark few years over the hangover of the pandemic,” Henry reflects. “I'd been  
 
 
struggling a lot with drinking and not taking care of myself and bad mental health and stuff. We wanted Sundiver to be the 
next morning of the following day.” He explains that it feels good this time round to write through the lens of positivity. “The 
themes began to emerge, of rebirth, spring, dawn, sunshine and then other elements just started to fit into that.” It was 
during the making of Sundiver that Henry found out he was going to be a dad. This album is a significant one for the band. 
Originally coming out of the emo and pop punk scene, they’ve explored sonics and genres throughout their career, taken 
risks and achieved more than they could ever had dreamed of. They’ve grown up as Boston Manor – their lives and the 
world changing around them. They’re now taking stock, at a crossroads of the band they were and the band they could 
be.  
While writing the album, they revisited the bands that shaped them in the late 90s and early 00s. “I was listening to the 
music I loved when I was a teenager and I just thought, why don't we make music like our favourite bands?”, guitarist 
Mike Cuniff remembers with a smile. “So we brought our interests to the table that way. Y2K kind of vibe. There are 
elements of Deftones, there are elements of Portishead in there, some Garbage, The Cardigans.” He laughs and adds 
NSYNC to the list of inspirations. From this cocktail of classics comes a dynamic and ambitious record, rich with depth, 
groove and more hooks than Peter Pan’s nightmares. Lyrics that foxtrot from parallel universes to personal growth, vivid 
dreamscapes to raw grief. Individually they’re single strokes full of meaning and magic. Together they’re a landscape. 
Container (out Feb 15th) is the first single and it’s them at their best – impassioned and infectious. “This song is about the 
stagnancy of life creeping up on you & how that can bring about change.,” Henry explains, citing Ocean Song by US band 
Daughters as an inspiration. ​
 
The concept of the butterfly effect is present on Sundiver – how small actions can lead to big changes. This is no clearer 
than on their second single, Sliding Doors (out April 5th). It has the golden sound of late 90s Lollapalooza rock – think 
Smashing Pumpkins - rebooted with crisp 2024 production and a potent heaviness. In the lyrics Henry wonders, what if?, 
pondering on what could be. The idea that there are infinite versions of you whose lives splinter off in different directions 
at every decision you make. That there’s another you out there somewhere right now reading this sentence, and another 
me writing it. “So much is down to chance and circumstance,” Henry says. “You might catch that train and your life totally 
changes. Or you might miss it and things stay the way they are.” 
Heat Me Up (out May 30th) is defiant and victorious, the audio equivalent of quitting your shit job and driving into the hot 
summer sun with a head full of dreams. “The lyrics are about love and gratitude,” Henry shares. “Another theme on the 
record is just appreciating what you have. It’s about not taking for granted the things that you've been afforded.” 
There was some natural magic in the creation of Sundiver. They worked with their usual producer, Larry Hibbitt, and 
engineer, Alex O’Donovan, but instead of recording in London again they ended up in the green pastures of Welwyn 
Garden City. “Because Larry lives out in the countryside now, it was a way different environment and way different 
experience recording this time,” Mike remembers. “That contributed a lot to the brighter sound of the record.” The daily 
barbecues they had during their recording sessions imbued the process with harmony – five old friends spending quality 
time together and making quality music.
