FADEAWAYRADIATE review..By Dane Di Pierro

Earlier this month British band Sunstack Jones released their fourth album with Mai 68 Records. The band traces its origins back to 2011 when they started as a songwriting project but over the years they grew to become a fully fledged performing band by 2016. Golden Repair finds the band branching out into new territory with rich three-part harmonies, a stronger emphasis on their live sound and songs that are rooted in collective songwriting with the five band members often facing each other in a circle while playing to come up with ideas. Tracks like the blues tinged “ Nowhere Near An Ocean ” and “ Almost Hear the City ” have a raw energy closer to mid career Verve or Black Rebel Motorcycle Club than what you’d usually associate with Sunstack Jones. Elsewhere “ Shouldabin ” and “ Wintersong ” carry themselves on gentle chords dripping with reverb and gorgeous harmonies. In many places it feels like the heaviest version of Sunstack Jones we’ve heard yet, but the album still retains much of the dreamy tranquil indie pop fans of the band would expect. The combination of dreampop and folk may have been perfected in the ‘90s by Mazzy Star and Mojave 3, but Sunstack Jones continues to carry the torch proudly into the 21st century.
