 Multi-national indie pop troupe Sunny Day Sets Fire clearly have immense musicianship and a diverse set of influences, yet against the odds they manage to blend each element seamlessly and refrain from allowing any individual to overshadow the whole.
On Summer Palace, the band expand on the kaleidoscopic sounds of their first EPs, balancing out the delicate side of their muse with a brace of spikier moments. It is to their credit that they can effectively deliver short bursts of pop perfection (‘Wilderness’, ‘Adrenaline’) and also stretch out over the six minute mark without losing focus, as on the gutsy ‘Smallest Heart On Earth’ and closer ‘Lack Of View’....full text |

Sometimes you know what a record will sound like before you even hear it, and from the very first bars of opener Wilderness the multinational multi-instrumentalists that make up the lineup of Sunny Day Sets Fire don’t disappoint. They trade in a euphoric rush of upbeat, psychedelic pop which should see them feature heavily on many a summer themed mixtape this year.
Obvious reference points are Apples In Stereo or the Flaming Lips, but frontman Mauro Remiddi’s vocals evoke the same wide eyed innocence of Syd Barrett which coupled with a slew of Beatles-esque chord structures and Beach Boy harmonies combine to construct a pervasive evocation of late 60s psychedelia which is nicely measured without becoming revivalist. Much of Summer Palace is awash with romantic, wistful melodies but where it works best and is at its strongest is the brooding melancholia of Mandarins, the surf rock twang of End Of The Road or the whimsy of Wilderness. Adrenaline and Brainless aim for instant gratification, but both result in a cloying pastiche of the Magic Numbers....full text |
