Celebrating the release of their brand new studio album, Eternity Now, Big Sugar mastermind Gordie Johnson has announced plans to premiere the record this week in a special livestream event.
With the band's album release party and subsequent tour cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions, Johnson will perform the entirety of the album — as well as remixes of some Big Sugar classics — in an intimate show recorded from his personal studio. The event is synced up with the album's official release date, this Friday (May 8).
Johnson elaborated on the forthcoming experience:
I'm excited to share with my fans an innovative live-stream Big Sugar album release party planned for May 8, 2020. With shelter-in-place orders keeping my band members in separate cities and countries, I'll be performing guitar and vocals live to a special pre-recorded remix of the original Eternity Now album tracks. Fans will get to hear the full sound of the new record and see me perform without a safety net in one take, LIVE…
Eternity Now was recorded in "the aftermath of many tragic life-changing events both within and beyond our control," the band wrote in a statement. The album, which arrives via Universal Music Canada, was initially set to drop back in March. It is touted as the culmination of Johnson's signature 1970s thump and psycho-acoustic dub style.
Eternity Now follows the release of Big Sugar's 2018 record ICON.
