Sonny & the Sunsets is Sonny Smith out of the lush musical forest of San Fransisco whose Tomorrow Is Alright LP will be coming out on November 17th through Soft Abuse. This songs on this record have essentially blindsided me as I had no prior knowledge of Sonny before hearing this record, and I can’t speak for anyone else but this record might just be coming out at the perfect time. Sonny & the Sunsets play stimulating and practically theatrical piano-driven tunes that would feel at home both modern-day at a cluttered house-show in North California or in the early 60s playing alongside Robert Zimmerman in a Greenwich Village bar. I implore you to pre-order this record (I did) on vinyl here for a great cause, and since this initial pressing is limited to only 500 you will be the coolest kid on the block with one of the coolest records this year.
Sonny & the Sunsets – Strange Love
Sonny & the Sunsets – Too Young To Burn
