Add Date: November 17
Artist: The Sunny Era
Album: This Darkness of Love
Label: Self-released
Genre: Rock/Folk
Comments: The Sunny Era, a three-piece outfit from Minneapolis, have created a gorgeous album with This Darkness of Love. It sounds like DeVotchKa part two, but it's not a knock-off--their sound, while similar, is organically their own, and perhaps less easy to identify as related to a specific world-music influence (although you certainly get some Eastern European folk, French cafe music and Balkan gypsy jazz) This Darkness of Love is full of moody, lush world-rock-folk tracks, all which are melodic but wistful all the same, and accordians, airy yet powerful vocals, and well-placed percussion. A beautiful record; start with tracks 1, 3, and 5.

Wow, you are absolutely right --- a GORGEOUS cd. These guys have a very interesting/intriguing sound. Influenced by DeVotchKa for sure, but refreshingly different!
