***Tomorrow is Alright is a vinyl reissue of the debut SONNY & THE SUNSETS album. Previously out of print, this limited run of 500 copies features Reflex Blue vinyl and a digital download.
“The Sunsets, featuring members of Thee Oh Sees, the Fresh & Onlys, and Citay, plus Sub Pop’s Kelley Stoltz largely stay in the background, providing sparse but carefully considered instrumentation. Citay’s Tahlia Harbour is the lone exception, although even she’s used sparingly; her deadpan counterpoints to Sonny’s stoney spaceman in “Planet of Women” or rationale-spouting youngster in “Lovin’ on an Older Gal” are impeccably timed, a fitting gee-whiz to Sonny’s endless aw-shucks. The production’s crisp and roomy, allowing each word to linger, each note its own space.
‘Tomorrow Is Alright’ feels like the work of a songwriter comfortable with himself and his limitations. So many bands put in a lot of work trying to make themselves sound older than their years; with their quiet confidence and no shortage of killer material, the Sunsets make it seem almost too easy.”—Pitchfork (8.0 review)
