Cuddle Up With: Sonny and the Sunsets

Cuddle Up With: Sonny and the Sunsets

There are a number of artists that I have been meaning to write about but there are none that I am more excited about than Sonny and the Sunsets.

They make music perfect for a lazy summertime afternoon bbq. Like you can't imagine anything could be all that bad even though you know there are bad things but because you know about all the bad things you know that they are not so bad that you cant sing these songs. Naturally they are from San Francisco, which has consistently turned out non-electronic chill music (for a doo-wop feel, check the video below for "Strange Love"). They have the harmonies down for sure. They exude the same sort of playfulness that made moldy peaches so fun a few years back, only without the self-hating irony. Apparently they put on a good show too.

They released their debut album Tomorrow is Alright on Soft Abuse but it was recently picked up by Fat Possum (home to the likes of Wavves and Andrew Bird). They will re-release the album on August 17 with a wider distribution. Stay tuned.
