Silver Sun

Silver Sun

£27.99

Released: 21st October 2022. London's powerpop geeks might have only had the spotlight on them for a brief number of years, but the impact they made within that time has certainly been long lasting. Coming to prominence during the 'second wave' of the Britpop era, their crunchy barre chords, big choruses and complex multi-layered harmonies, were perhaps more suited to the American power pop and pop-punk scenes. Silver Sun's eponymous self-titled debut album was originally released in 1997 on Polydor Records, and along with the single 'Lava', are widely regarded as genre classics. Other tracks on the album such as 'Golden Skin', 'Last Day' and 'Service' all highlight the late James Board's impeccable songwriting ability and vocal performance. The album was produced by a young Nigel Godrich who would go on to work with Radiohead, U2, Beck, Paul McCartney and Travis, and win a Grammy in the process.
