Sunny Summer Day - Me, Myself And the Empty Soul Ep ( Letterbox Records UK 2008)

Indonesian Sunny Summer Day was one of the bands we featured on our recent “Summer’s Here” compilation here at Eardrums. Now, they’ve got a new download-only EP available on Letterbox Records, and after listening to the six songs on “me, myself and the empty soul” I can give this release my warm recommendations.

This is jangly, melodic indie pop, and the band is more than a little inspired by bands from the legendary Sarah Records. Some of their songs may sound a bit too much like old heroes (Primal Scream from around the c86 time, The Sea Urchins, The Field Mice, The Orchids, 14 iced bears, Brighter + others), and on especially one of their songs (not one of the ep tracks) I find myself singing the words from Primal Scream’s “Velocity Girl” to the Sunny Summer Day-song. I’m not sure if that is a good thing, but for people like me, who love this kind of music, it’s easy to ignore, and just sing along…

All of the songs on the ep holds a high quality, and I especially like the catchy “You’re the one for me” and “Happy in the summer”. As expected, a fine release from Sunny Summer Day!
