The band's new album, Longtime Companion, will be released June 26th and is currently up for pre-order HERE (180-gram yellow vinyl / CD). All pre-orders receive an instant MP3 download for the entire album at checkout!
Longtime Companion is a country album centered around love & heartache, topics best suited for such a genre. Sonny Smith, the band's main songwriter, pours his soul into these songs, reflecting a break up with his girlfriend of 10 years. While Longtime Companion has hints of The Flying Burrito Brothers, Gene Clark, Townes Van Zandt and a little Johnny Cash, it still ultimately sounds like a Sonny & the Sunsets album through and through.
Check out the first single "Pretend You Love Me" above (also available on Soundcloud HERE).
The new Sonny & The Sunsets album, Longtime Companion, is officially out today on CD / LP / MP3 worldwide! Visit your favorite local record shop, or check out our online store, to get a copy. The album is also available on iTunes HERE.
Longtime Companion is the 3rd full-length album from San Francisco's Sonny & The Sunsets, and 1st with Polyvinyl! With Longtime Companion, the Sunset's mastermind, Sonny Smith, pulls from his country roots to create an incredibly personal album, full of love and heartbreak. With hints of Gene Clark, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Townes Van Zandt and a little Johnny Cash, Longtime Companion still remains a Sonny & The Sunsets album, it's just that there's a bit more twang this time around.
Check out the first single, "Pretend You Love Me," above. To get a taste of the entire album, head over to Under The Radar for their exclusive album stream.
