Sonny & The Sunsets - The Hypnotist b/w Stranded 7"



Tally Ho favourites Sonny & The Sunsets follow up their awesome debut LP with a four song 7" on new label Future Stress Recordings.

With the same honest, rootsy song-writing that shone on Tomorrow Is Alright at its base, the new 7" somehow feels more intimate than previous Sonny releases. Girl on the Street and The Hypnotist both rely on folkie guitar flourishes and flute backing, creating truly psychedelic music devoid of fancy effects pedals or touched up vocals... as if we're being allowed a few brief flashes of the man behind the songs.

Highlight for this fan is Stranded. A cut from the aforementioned full length, its lingering, sinister guitar intro perfectly compliments the downtrodden, helpless tone of Sonny's lyrics.

You can pick up this latest set at Future Stress Recordings website here and as a teaser here's Stranded...
