Absolutely Free has released its cover of the classic "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" in honour of today's solar eclipse. The Toronto 'astro-beat' trio gives a celestial tint to the song originally recorded by Frankie Valli in 1965 and later popularized by The Walker Brothers. This version for August 21, 2017 is auspicious and serene, tape degraded yet futuristic, shot skyward by starry synthesizers, cavernous bass, shimmering highs, and Matt King's atmospheric vocals.

The single is out now digitally and available for purchase as an extremely limited 7" picture disc from Toronto-Philadelphia label Boiled Records.

Proceeds will be donated to Earthjustice, a non-profit environmental law organization that protects natural resources and promotes healthy communities.
