Sunshine Reverberation Self-Titled Debut out April 21

Sunshine-Reverberation

There isn’t much audio to go on here for those of you not on Spotify, so you might have to just take my word for it. Tromsø, Norway’s Sunshine Reverberation have one track streaming publicly on their Soundcloud page that’s called “Be a Baby,” but I can’t embed it, and anyway, that doesn’t really do much on its own to summarize their plenty of punk, psych and garage rock as proffered throughout their self-titled debut, which is out later this month via the newly-minted Westergaard Records. I found a video of a Sept. 2016 hometown set on YouTube, but you have to turn it sideways to make it look right. The pickings are as yet kind of slim.

So I guess you can either believe me, use your Spotify if you have one (I don’t), dig into that Soundcloud track, or wait a couple weeks to check out cuts like the circa-’67 garage drawl of “Manipulation” and the bass-led drift of “Sun King II.” Sometimes life doesn’t provide instant gratification. Strange thought, I know.

Smashing debut from Norwegian psych/garagerock band SUNSHINE REVERBERATION!!

Sunshine Reverberation is a garage punk band heavily influenced by psychedelia and krautrock creating a sonic space similar to artists like King Gizzard, Ty Segall, Thee Oh Sees and White Fence. And if you listen, you will also find echoes from Iggy & The Stooges and The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.

The band was formed in the heart of Tromsø rock city in late 2014. Tromsø is far from everything, in the cold and dark northern parts of the Norwegian wilderness.

Sunshine Reverberation came together over long jam sessions in a furniture stores basement, where they found their unique psychedelic, fuzzy and melodic sound. From the start they have been perpetually broke and they’ve had to adopt a strict DIY ethos.

Sunshine Reverberation are calm, controlled and dreamy before they suddenly launch into noisy, fuzzy punk workouts. They are indeed a four-headed hydra: grinding, wringing and twisting every drop of acid out of rock’n’roll’s rotting corpse.

Their amazing self-titled debut album captures the unique sound of these Norwegian outcasts.

    Hard to track down all these new releases. I lost count of how many releases are coming out this month alone. Would it be possible for you to add a section to your blog called “release schedule” where all the upcoming releases would simply be listed (succintly and, of course, chronologically)?
