Sonny & The Sunsets
●

By all accounts the new record from San Francisco’s Sonny & The Sunsets comes from a very dark place – death mainly – not that you’d guess from the sunny disposition and quirky lyrics of lead single, Dark Corners. ‘I come from the planet of dogs … And I walk on your streets … And I can’t wait to find … My little place in your weird world’ sings Sonny Smith, as new wave bass, Lou Reed guitars and dancing synths envelope his extra-terrestrial words. The album, Antenna to the Underworld, is released June 11 through Polyvinyl.
