The alternative-rock crew known as
Sunstack Jones have released their latest LP record, “Roam.” The
record comprises 10 original tracks for an approximate total
listening time of 40 minutes. It has been proudly published on the
Mammoth Bell Recording Co. record label as an independent release
without support from the corporate music industry. Populated with
acoustic guitars, rolling beats and consistently remarkable
songwriting, “Roam” is a lo-fi record that fans of indie music
and Brit pop will be able to agree on like no record before it.
Sunstack Jones cite as main artistic
influences such musicians as Ryan Adams, Nirvana, Mazzy Star, the
Sundays, Beachwood Sparks, Scott Walker, Lee Hazlewood, Pink Floyd,
and Sonic Youth. Attributes of each can readily be found in “Roam,”
particularly in the cases of Mazzy Star and the Sundays. The
open-air, other-worldly feel of Pink Floyd runs like a strong
undercurrent throughout the record, and a raw simplicity ties
Sunstack Jones to Sonic Youth in terms of songwriting and apparent
artistic principle.
Asked to expand on the themes of their
album, Sunstack Jones writes simply – “Things are bad, we know.”
Their official band bio describes their
sound and style as “ethereal dream-pop psychedelia,” a descriptor
which colors them appropriately, though their overall effect is not
as complicated as the compound adjective might suggest. On the
contrary, “Roam” by Sunstack Jones is an incredibly accessible
rock album, one which both the casual listener and true audiophile
can quickly dive into and thoroughly enjoy.
Sunstack Jones were formed in the UK in
2011. Their debut LP, “Surefire Ways to Sweeten
The Mind” appeared in 2012. Soon after making live appearances at Britain's popular Cloudspotting Festival and with This Is The Kit, they hit public radio on Mark Radcliffe's BBC Radio 2 Music Club show. Recording sessions for BBC Merseyside's Introducing followed, as did spots on Tom Robinson's 6 Music Mixtape Show and Fresh Faves.
