No countdown clock, no influencer campaign, no teaser rollout. Sublime quietly released “Can’t Miss You” as a direct offering to the fans who have followed them for decades, and it’s one of the best moves they could have made. The track is out now via Atlantic Records, the second preview of their upcoming album ‘Until the Sun Explodes,’ arriving June 12th.
Frontman Jakob Nowell is direct about where the song came from. “Can’t Miss You is probably my favorite track on the record. It was one of those magic songs that got written in a day. The strange chord progression was definitely inspired by my father’s songwriting, especially songs like Pool Shark and STP,” he says. “Classic Sublime always had this feeling like you never knew where the song was going to take you. I look towards my father’s work for guidance at every turn, and Can’t Miss You is a perfect example of that.”
The lead single “Until the Sun Explodes” is already in the Top 5 on the Mediabase alternative radio charts and climbing. Its official music video moves through locations across Long Beach tied to Sublime’s history, with appearances by skateboard legends Christian Hosoi and Omar Hassan connecting the band’s legacy to Southern California’s punk and skate culture. Bradley Nowell’s presence ties every frame of it together.
The album arrives in the middle of a year loaded with activity. Sublime recently played 2 sold-out nights at Red Rocks Amphitheatre celebrating the 30th anniversary of their self-titled 1996 album, and opened a Grammy Museum exhibit titled Sublime: Straight From Long Beach, running through September 7th in Los Angeles.
The band also launched Sublime Festival, their own touring music festival, with stops in Portland, OR on June 27th and Salt Lake City, UT on July 18th. And this November, they set sail on the Sublime Reef Madness cruise, November 15-19, departing Miami for Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas aboard Norwegian Jewel.
‘Until the Sun Explodes’ is out June 12th via Atlantic Records.
