Sunday Mourners are here and it is ok. It is ok to feel good about indie music again. ‘A-Rhythm Absolute‘ is a perfect fresh analogue debut album from twenty-four year old four piece from all over the battered USA, who now reside under Curation Records' proud wing in LA.
Pungent, characterful stories delivered by vocalist Quinn lead the show set to a tune-laden punchy pallet from a classic rock set up oozing effortless angular groove. Echoes of Television or Wire only gives you a clue to Sunday Mourners hooky sound as the album matches the art-rock with its strong playful melodies.
A delightful public row with the world kicks off the album with the chewy ‘Careers In Acting’, “Fill up my mouth with your tear drop it won’t help you” Quinn cooly delivers as the music breaks away into face melting guitar math. ‘Biography’ ups the tempo with its battering riff and lead work that will have you intoning along like early Strokes. They really earn their eight minute freak out after the dry VU style love ode ‘Darling’. By the time ‘There’s a Garden in You’, a surreal Silver Jews like musing gives way to the breezy ‘Love Observations’ “Love is monumental, my love is ornamental,” you’ll feel confident their quality will never dip over the 30+ minutes. Closer ‘When Dreams Come True’, a rigid fierce minimal chop staying in character with Casy’s tuneful bass groove, which bounces around this and the whole glorious debut.
“Recorded at Jazzcats Studio in Long Beach California, owned and operated by their dear friend Jonny Bell who engineered, mixed & mastered the record on a 2 inch tape machine which contained “Lot of fender single coils and dry DI sounds, a few pianos, standup basses and moogs, a vintage slingerland kit. Lotta old dry wood, which we hope comes across.” Explained bassist Casy.
“Quinn Robinson (Vocals/Guitar) is from Stamford, CT, Z Long (Drums) is from Denver, CO, & Max Pugh (Guitar) & Casey Hoerman (Bass) are from St. Louis Missouri. Although Max and Casey were friends from childhood, we all met on the first week of college on Z and Casey’s (shared) birthday. We became close friends, and began playing together in a shared house during the 2020 quarantine.” Quinn
Let’s all get excited about music again with this young band whose diverse backgrounds have shaped a sound that is uniquely their own—a blend of minimalism, melody, and raw, primal energy. Sunday Mourners debut fuses Art-Punk restraint with a love for the noisy and the unconventional.
