Sundowners

Description

Sundowners are undoubtedly an exciting prospect, with a very defined sense of who they are NME · Sundowners eponymous debut album is a potent brew of psychefolk, mystic songwriting, glistening guitar lines and rushing harmonies. Hints of Jefferson Airplane for the 21st Century.

The album was recorded almost entirely live in Parr Street studios, Liverpool, over a two week period in the summer of 2014.

Sundowners was produced by James Skelly, Ian Skelly and Richard Turvey and reflects Niamh Rowe (vocals & guitar) and Fiona Skelly (vocals & guitar)s mutual love of psyche and West Coast harmonies.

The eleven tracks of harmony heavy, well-crafted pop gems were in part inspired by the diverse and eclectic range of music the band listened to during recording Goat, Tame Impala, Can, Neu!, Portishead, Air, Gillian Welch, Velvet Underground, Fairport Convention.

Now a formidable live act, the Wirral 5-piece benefit from an almost telepathic on stage understanding born out of both Fiona and Niamhs long-term friendship and the addition of Fionas brother, Alfie, on guitar.

The last 12 months have seen the band release a brace of limited edition singles, touring constantly alongside the likes of Cats Eyes and Kasabian and appearing at the All Tomorrows Parties and Glastonbury Festivals, where they played in the packed BBC Introducing tent.

LP format is limited to 300 copies.
