Bad Suns also share the hook-packed gem “Slow Karma” which doubles as frontman Christo Bowman’s mission statement for Accelerator. An intimate and cathartic track, the album opener finds Christo at a personal and professional crossroads as he confronts old habits and makes a life-changing decision.

“I was at a point in my life where it was becoming abundantly clear to me that I needed to make some changes in order to progress and live the life that I really wanted,” Christo says. “Getting sober is really hard, but then it quickly becomes the most rewarding thing in the world. ‘Slow Karma’ is about accepting that this is gonna be difficult. And I don't know exactly what's ahead, but I know this is the direction I'm supposed to be moving down. I can't control the world around me, but I can control the way that I react to the events taking place and the way that I move through the world.”
