Volcanic psych-punk trio RED SUN ATACAMA to unleash second video scorcher taken from their new record:“Summerchild”.
Desert punk trio RED SUN ATACAMA drop a second bombshell: an album-titled video for “Summerchild” made up of live footage. The album itself will be released on March 13th 2026 via Mrs Red Sound.
Desert punk locos RED SUN ATACAMA’s new album ‘Summerchild’ is irradiated with the solar fuzz, acid riffs and telluric percussions that define the project. Between psychedelic ritual, punk urgency and incandescent desert rock, ‘Summerchild’ ranges from hypnotic ballads of relentless groove to ultra-catchy outbursts. Commenting on the new track “Summerchild” and its video, Clément Marquez (bass/vocals) says:
“It’s probably the most rock’n’roll track on the album. It’s a very direct, rather sunny song that marks a narrative turning point on the record, towards a kind of rebirth. It’s a bit like the ‘phoenix’ song on the album! For the video, we went for something very personal: a collection of footage from our last four years on tour, mixed with moments from the recording of the song at the Apiary this summer. It’s a look back at how far we’ve come, and what it means to keep the band going after all this time.”
The video “Summerchild” was directed by Nicolas Marciano. To listen to the single “Summerchild” on the streaming platforms, click on THIS LINK.

Born in 2014, Bordeaux-based trio RED SUN ATACAMA combine desert rock psychedelia and punk fury. Volcanic and wild, Chilean Atacama Desert mesmerizes the band as much as it inspires them. Their sound is driven by its beyond compare magnetism. Spread through the impetuous fuzz of legends Fu Manchu, Nebula or Mondo Generator, Red Sun Atacama praise the burning sound of the desert and the Holy Groove with irresistible slashing riffs!
Their self-released debut EP ‘Part 1’ came out in 2015, a few years before the band unleashed a bubbling first album entitled ‘Licancabur’ in 2018 via More Fuzz Records. The record definitely established the trio’s unique, raw and insolent style.
In 2022, Red Sun Atacama signed to Mrs Red Sound (French heavy psych trio Mars Red Sky’s own imprint) for the release of their sophomore studio album ‘Darwin’, the same year. Shaped by an overflowing desert rock, stoner and punk energy, and inspired by the Andean magic, ‘Darwin’ received many praises from the specialised press and got the band spotted by booking agencies 3C and Bullet Seed.
On stage, Red Sun Atacama fully manage to share the same hypnotic outburst as on their recordings. They already performed in various European countries alongside international heavyweights such as Uncle Acid And The Dead Beats, Mars Red Sky, Planet of Zeus, Slift. In 2024, they played DesertFest Antwerp (Belgium), Hellfest (France) and toured Europe in support from Dopelord (courtesy of Doomstar Bookings).
Red Sun Atacama’s upcoming album ‘Summerchild’ arrives on March 13th 2026 through Mrs Red Sound.
