Sonny And The Sunsets - Antenna To The Afterworld album flac

Sonny & the Sunsets are a beautiful west coast thing. Birthed from the sand, the surf, and twilight campfires down in Ocean Beach, Sonny & the Sunsets’ busted beach-pop songs spark recollections of doo wop's otherworldly despair, a dose of goofball humor from the Michael Hurley school, and positive possibilities exuded by Jonathan Richman.

On Antenna to the Afterworld, Sonny Smith marries an extensive narrative about outer space and alien life with ruminations on the deaths of two close friends. Over the jangling melody of "Girl on the Street", he pines over someone he's never spoken to, but who he stares at from a distance. In "Mutilator", he sings an awed love song about a sword swallower.

What are Sonny & The Sunsets getting at on Antenna to the Afterworld, a fast-moving record of new wave synths and post punk beats? The murder of a close friend of the band led Smith to think a lot about death and life after death. Shortly after, a visit to a psychic/medium brought Smith into contact with another friend who had died. This encounter with the afterworld inspired many of the lyrics on Sonny & the Sunsets' new record

Antenna to the Afterworld turns out to be the best kind of pop album: it sounds great and it's full of catchy songs, but it has just enough deeper meaning and emotional depth to keep it from blowing away in a light breeze. Sonny and the Sunsets shift from their classic 60's, 70's style and incorporate synths and a weird obsession with alien life. Still a a great transition album. Or consider a donation? Ghostface Killah & Adrian Younge. Twelve Reasons To Die.

Sonny and the Sunsets - Antenna to the Afterworld. Antenna to the Afterworld is mostly a straightforward blend of these elements. There are male/female vocal harmonies and conversations. There’s a love song to a flower-selling Girl on the Street, there are upbeat, catchy hooks paired with lyrics about feeling a Void, or rather a funny kind of sad joy – on that same track, there’s even the token ‘record someone talking about the song over the top of it’ tactic, as someone says I like that part! and proceeds. to sing along with the bassline
