VNV Nation – Electric Sun

Limited double clear vinyl LP pressing.

On Electric Sun, VNV Nation expands their iconic futurepop sound into cinematic, orchestral territory—an album built as much for cathedrals as for clubs. This double LP blends sweeping string arrangements with pulsing electronic beats, combining Ronan Harris’s signature emotional delivery with themes of transcendence, collapse, and rebirth.

It’s a deeply layered record: one moment devotional, the next explosive. The title track alone is a synth-goth space opera, while tracks like “Prophet” and “Before the Rain” channel both spiritual grandeur and militant rhythm.

As Ronan Harris (Singer, Songwriter, Producer) describes the album : "Electric Sun resonates deeply with me. There have been revelations and epiphanies in its making. There are sides to it where I've expressed things in ways I hadn't until now. It's allowed me to explore and reach new levels in the kind of music I make. I said on stage a few times that the next one would be darker. It was more a feeling than a conscious choice. Now, I don't mean darker in an 'alone in a concrete cellar at 2am on a Saturday' or 'my hunchback brother fell down a well and now I'm sad' kind of way. You don't plan creativity but you can curate and guide it. You are a vessel for it and, if you're like me, you let it do its thing. It's not the tools themselves but what they enable you to do. I find this album to be more emotive than usual, at times reaching some intensity. A lot was waiting to come out, I guess. I think you'll understand what I mean once you've heard it. From the title track 'Electric Sun' to songs like 'Prophet', 'Run', 'Sunflare' and 'At Horizon's end', there's a cinematic-size scale to what I've made here. If you want, the album will make you dance, or ask you to think or make you smile and, at times, it might well put dust in your eye. I find it hard to grasp what I've achieved on this and I can't wait for you to hear it."
