June 17, 2010: The Sundays
















Artist: The Sundays
Album: Static And Silence
Year: 1997

The Sundays make some very enjoyable pop music. Soft, focused, and gentle, Harriet Wheeler and her Brits craft easy to listen to, pleasant and smooth tunes that'll either get stuck in your head or pass the time. You'll probably recognize opener "Summertime", and if you don't you will after you listen to it. The highlights are pretty obvious to recognize: the soft "Homeward", the gentle yet something-under-the-surface feeling of "Folk Song", the smooth "I Can't Wait". The album does not get weak near the end as many pop albums do; both "Your Eyes" and "So Much" are great tracks that keep the album feeling full and vibrant. If you like pop music, this album's for you.

  1. This album is definitely for me....The Sundays make great pop music & are also wonderfully consistent. Try listening to 'Reading, Writing, & Arithmetic' sometime - another excellent CD....
