Album Review: Almost Not There by Son of The Sun

RECORD REVIEW: Son of The Sun make music for the universe of rock fans who miss the late 70’s and nostalgia surrounding smokey club jams. Almost Not There is a extended EP with 6 varied songs with at least two number #1 hit “10,000” and another called “My Best Mistake”, the guitars have a little retro delay on it and vocals chime in a sort of Brian Fallon kind of way. There’s also something a little spooky with the way the keyboards on other tracks like “Henry’s England” are used channelling some retro. Their sense of layers make Son Of The Sun a good band that like to play with your sense of song that take you on a interesting rock journey. Hailing from Buffalo, NY with a few previous releases under their belt we urge you check them out at a local venue near you and report in. Like we were saying there is a lot of variety with this units rock-n-roll twists – if you like the picking found on “Friction” by Television and on 10k electric Dylan-esque jams really come through – they will keep you guessing as to their true retro-influences.
