Sonny & the Sunsets Share Palm Reader Video

August 5, 2021 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I took one of those rarefied family vacations, heading to the beach this last week, so I wasn’t able to properly wrap up last week, where I most certainly would have shared the latest video from Sonny & the Sunsets. This is one of my favorite tracks on New Day with New Possibilities (which also dropped while I was tanning), hitting home because of the intermingling of sliding guitar lines and the sunny pop vibes that are always present in a Sonny Smith release; you might have heard a non-country version on Antenna to the Afterworld, so this gives you a different glance at Smith’s writing process of late. The new LP is out now via Rocks in Your Head Records.

Even More New Music From Sonny & The Sunsets

April 24, 2013 RayRay Leave a comment

Sonny Smith is a busy man in the music game, and he seems to work just about as hard as anyone physically can. It’s also worth saying that we seem to gobble up everything he does and tend to enjoy each new release as they rack up year after year. As previously mentioned, Sonny and his band the Sunsets have a new album entitled Antenna to the Afterworld dropping on June 11th via Polyvinyl Records. Prior to that release, we’ve got another new preview of the album in the form of new song “Green Blood”. It sort of sounds like something straight of the 80s with a new wave sound clear throughout the song. Alien love is sweet.

Sonny Smith Keeps Trucking with New Sonny & the Sunsets Tune

March 21, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I don’t think anyone in the world works as hard as Sonny Smith, except for maybe Ty Segall. It seems like Sonny always has something in the works, be it his solo work or his band Sonny & the Sunsets. He just released a new single that will be featured on his upcoming effort with his band; the record is called Antenna to the Afterworld and will be released by Polyvinyl Records on June 11th. Interestingly, this song has less of a folk feel, changing it for that current Cali guitar sound that you find in many of the modern acts from the state (many of whom Sonny has worked with). I’m interested to see how the whole record comes together, especially if he’s mixing things up.
