Sunlit Prep New Album, Share Back Single
I’m a sucker for big grandiose pop vibes, and Oxford’s Sunlit is definitely hitting that note this morning. You might recognize songwriter Joe Moore from the Yearning, but this new sound really hits hard on broad sweeping melodies and nostalgic sentiment. I can imagine a video with Joe at a piano, fog machines billowing behind him as the films wash is done with a grainy effect; there’s a light shining in the background, just as the chorus hits and the fans swoon. If you want big ballad vibes, sounds like Sunlit‘s got ’em. More info on the LP coming your way soon courtesy of Elefant.
One thing we remembered – and re-lived – in 2020 was the spirit of indie DIY. We wrote songs, recorded them at home, took our own pictures, made our own videos. So we decided it was about time to start a label. The first physical releases on Skep Wax will come out next spring. We will be co-releasing the next Swansea Sound single with US label HHBTM and Japanese label Formosa Punk, and we will co-release the new Catenary Wires songs with US label Shelflife. Its great to be working alongside these other labels. We always loved the idea of the International Pop Underground, and in 2021 we hope to breathe new life into it. If we discover we are any good at running a label, we will start thinking about releasing other bands music on the label. Very excited about this!
Every so often, I team up with our friend Eric from Big Bill to curate
