Sonny and the Sunsets Share Androids Single

Leave a comment

The opening thirty or so seconds of this new tune from Sonny & the Sunsets immediately had me hooked; I honestly let my mind drift to the Aussie scene a bit, as it has this heavy yearning attached to the jungle. When Sonny comes in, aided by softened backing vocals, the track begins to build on that vibe, adding a melodic resonance to it. At times, the tickling of the guitar strings hits exactly, doing a little playful jin inside your ear; it always feels like coming home, like “it’s alright.” Self Awareness Through Macrame is out on September 1st via Rocks in Your Head.

While Sonny Smith has been at it for quite awhile, there’s something about his latest work that’s really got my ears perked up for the new LP. For instance, and maybe I’m stretching here, but there’s definitely something in this song that feels like it was penned by Dan Treacy. I’m not sure whether its the way that bits of accompaniment join in out of nowhere or that combo vocal that’s charming in the middle. It could even be that digressing guitar line at 47 seconds squiggling its way right into your ears. So if Self Awareness Through Macrame is going to be Sonny and the Sunsets nod to Television Personalities, I’m absolutely here for that! Rocks In Your Head drop the LP on August 25th.

Another bit of great news from one of my favorite songwriters, Sonny Smith. Sonny wrote a majority of the songs, like the one below during the pandemic, then went back and added in friends and touches to make it a proper Sonny and the Sunsets record. I love the light-hearted guitar jangle that bounces throughout this tune, giving off a ray of sunshine and bounce that’s immediately accessible to any old pop fan. Plus, you get some great organ work that adds an extra textural layer of depth to the song, building in extra bits of charm. Self Awareness Through Macrame will be out on September 1st via Rocks In Your Head Records.
