Background and promotion

[edit]

Suicide and Sunshine began as a sort of swansong of sorts for the band of ten years, having decided to break up amid the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] According to John Floreani, "A lot of what we were doing [on this album] is just expressing ourselves freely".[5]

The title of the album, Suicide and Sunshine', comes from 'Sean', a track detailing the heartbreak Floreani experienced after his friend ended his life. According to Floreani, it was sunny when he heard of Sean's passing.[6]

The first single from Suicide and Sunshine, "Blue Eyed Boy", was released on 3 March 2023 along with an accompanying music video.[7]
