Sonny and the Sunsets
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

The Sandwitches in Italia!Parte domani sera il tour italiano delle Sandwitches , band di San Francisco nata tre anni fa da Grace Cooper e Heidi Alexander, già backing vocals per Fresh & Onlys, e dalla batterista Roxy Brodeur. Il giro è quello di Sonny & The Sunsets, Mantles e il resto della balotta della città californiana, ma il suono delle Sandwitches punta in una direzione meno strettamente garage e più barocca. La label le presenta come "a Holy Communion of Roky Erickson and Stevie Nicks", e io sottolinerei anche una predilezione per certi toni più cupi, come la versione teatrale e ironica di un vecchio b-movie ...polaroid > un blog alla radio >26 November 2011

Good timesNo, questi non si possono certo chiamare "good times" e gli aggiornamenti a singhiozzo del blog ne sono un po' lo specchio. Eppure, forse per una certa scaramanzia, la canzone che ascolto di più in questo periodo si intitola proprio così. Sta dopo la metà del nuovo album dei Ganglians , Still Living e suona come se i REM si stessero divertendo a una festa sulla spiaggia. Magari poi hanno ragione le recensioni, il disco non va oltre il 7 (anzi: 6.9, secondo Pitchfork), ma pur con tutti i suoi "errori" e i momenti da skippare mi sta piacendo molto ...polaroid > un blog alla radio >13 September 2011

Tortured Genies (members of Sonny & the Suns ..Brown Leaves by Tortured Genies While SF’s Tortured Genies include Sonny & the Sunsets‘ Tahlia Harbour, Ryan Browne, and Zack Ehrlich, the psych-pop on “Brown Leaves” feels more than a bit removed from the Sunsets’ proto-rock jangle.
