Sundayclub – Bannatyne

Formed in the stillness of rural Manitoba, Courtney Carmichael and Nikki St.Pierre started sundayclub as a way of processing the strange limbo of early adulthood: that feeling of being caught between who you were and who you’re becoming. Taking inspiration from artists like Metric, DayWave, The 1975, Clairo, beabadoobee, and Alvvays, the duo blends hazy indie pop and dreamy shoegaze textures with unfiltered storytelling. Today, sundayclub is sharing debut single, “Bannatyne,” via Paper Bag Records — a love letter to the city that shaped their sound.

Released alongside a self-directed music video, “Bannatyne” follows the perspective of a protagonist wandering from Bannatyne to Princess Street, exploring the lights and energy of Nuit Blanche in Winnipeg’s arts district, The Exchange. Like the song itself, the video captures a fleeting, intimate moment — a window into sundayclub’s internal world, full of wonder and soft nostalgia. The duo is promising an EP later this year.

On the track sundayclub shares, “Bannatyne explores the complex feelings of a burgeoning relationship in and amidst a colourful urban landscape. The song captures a renaissance of freedom, awe, and vulnerability in one’s self and surroundings. Leaning into a stripped-down and playful bedroom pop sound, sundayclub’s debut single celebrates the city that inspired them.”

A tender first glimpse, “Bannatyne” is a hypnotic introduction to sundayclub — a band rooted in feeling, discovery, and the spaces between.
