Sunglasses are a new group hailing from Savannah, Georgia. There are two core members in this group; 8000 Bam Bam (umm what?) and Baby Seal (ok, that makes sense?). They met while attending The Savannah School of Arts, 8BB a film maker, Baby Seal a sound designer. After collaborating on a film project the duo decided to make a full time gig out of it. The ending result being a nice (but short) Indie Electronic/Psych album that should be pleasing for fans of MGMT, Animal Collective, and other bands along "those" lines.
The first song on this self-titled EP, "Whiplash", has keyboards, slide whistles, trippy distortions & pleasing vocals, this song could easily be confused as (yet another) Animal Collective tribute track. But more than just another AC rip off band, Sunglasses are a lot "peppier", somewhat stranger (somewhat), and to me a little more "radio friendly". The rest of the album continues in the tradition of kaleidoscopic collage sounds with warm tones, carefree attitudes, and a "beach front" attitude that allows this band to live up to their name.
This is a fun little EP, maybe not mind blowing, but pretty catchy/fun. Good music for hanging outside on a nice warm day I think. "Merriweather Post Pavillion" + going to the beach = Sunglasses first EP. Perhaps their future is bright, so they gotta wear ..shades.. (yeah, lame joke)
Standout Tracks: Whiplash
