Sumos Share Enemies Single; Surfacing Out Next Week

Leave a comment

If you are looking at this month’s release schedule, you should certainly have the drop of Sumos’ Surfacing LP next Friday penciled in to your “things to rock out to” list. With one week to go, they’re sharing the energetic “Enemies,” which to me feels like a huge rush of sugar straight to the body; it’s like chugging a ton of RedBull than running about with your mates while you all don huge grins. The thumping rhythm section here sets the scene, but the vocal performance stretching the melody through every single moment was the surefire charm to get me to turn this one all the way to 11. Surfacing drops next week via Meritorio/Safe Suburban Home.

Sumos Drop New Single: Small Talk

Leave a comment

Yesterday we were treating you to the electronic excursion of Manchester’s Orielles, but today, we’re going to the city’s softer pop side with a fresh single from Sumos. When the guitar notes pushed through my speakers at the start, I already began to swoon; this is the brand of indiepop that offers those crisp jangles and soothing vocals. The hook of this song works between the juxtaposition of two guitar styles, with one being sharp and angular while the other works in a more distorted manner, so it all feels sunny with a chance of thunderstorms…but like the weather in Austin, it quickly fades into more sunshine. Strap in, put on your shades and enjoy the warmth of Spring. Sumos will drop Surfacing on May 12th via Meritorio and Safe Suburban Home.

Sumos Announce Surfacing

Leave a comment

Funny how I spent the night watching Manchester acts only to come home to a track from another band from the area: Sumos. The group just announced Surfacing, their debut LP for Meritorio and Safe Suburban Home, with this new pop ditty to entice you to give it a listen. For me, this song embodies almost a classic alternative rock feel; it’s got just the faintest hints of noise fuzzing out the edges, but with this core that just seems breezy and euphoric. I was easily hooked by the teasing intro, switching from a lo-fi vocal to something brighter and more emphatic, building in that sweet hook for my ears. If you’re enjoying what you hear, Surfacing is out on May 12th.
