California indie/pop band Bad Suns have unveiled their dreamy new single, “Mystery Girl.” The track is lifted from their upcoming new album, Accelerator, which is due out on August 8th via Epitaph Records.
In an upbeat cascade of dreamy riffs and a lively rhythm section, Christo Bowman’s wistfully reflective lyrics signify a crossroads for the Bad Suns lead singer and guitarist. Through a diaristic stream of consciousness, he remembers his coming-of-age years while facing the inertia of fatherhood: “There’s this beautiful new chapter in my life unfolding, and there’s mixed emotions that come with it,” he says. ““Mystery Girl” is a song about my teenage years, past relationships and experiences, and being a young person who is ultimately just looking for love.”

Bad Suns are taking Accelerator on the road with a fall tour that kicks off on September 18th in Phoenix, and ends on October 17th in their hometown of Los Angeles. Supported by Yot Club and Joe P on specific dates, tickets are available via the band’s website here.
