As the Bank Holiday weekend comes to a close, the reminisce of the 12th edition of Sound City leaves an exuberant buzz following the successful weekend of musical endeavours. 100s of bands from all over the world played fantastic shows and local talent soared in their surroundings.

LIGHTS OUT IN LONDON
 INTERVIEW EMOTIONAL MACHINE

After playing sold out shows at The Lexington and the Sebright Arms in London, fast-rising and encompassing themselves firmly onto the live scene is Sun Silva. These tastemakers have poised us with a fresh and airy new single following previous bold and horn-led release 'Blue Light'.

'Sun Skin Air' is textured in hazy psychedelia cushioned with crisp and titillating melodies. It's scattered with moments of sparkling keys and a breezy psych come down half way through, you can imagine the mismatch frame of mind the song was written in, as if looking through a musical kaleidoscope, the arrangements float inconspicuously through the ears. An addictive earworm with plenty of colourful hooks.

Frontman Oscar Gormley explains, “We wrote ‘Sun Skin Air’ in a horrible hostel with no fan during a visit to Spain. It’s a hard hitter, kind of Krauty and a bit gritty - probably due to the frustration of being in that room. This song is much weirder than ‘Blue Light’, which is the way we wanted to go with this one."

Confidently producing some assured and flavoursome tunes already, I am very much looking forward to the next musical fizzlers from this talented quartet. Check out 'Sun Skin Air' below.
