Sunday Sun can call you honey!
Sunday Sun's debut album has become reality. The new, carefree pop songs are just as catchy as Sunday Sun's single from 2012 (EP1) Highly Respected Rebel, as evidenced by their performances at such festivals as Concert at Sea, De Beschaving and Metropolis. With We Let Go, the band shows us another side of themselves, creating an album where the sixties converge with the present.
After releasing three EPs in six months' time in 2012 (titled I, II and III), the band started carefully forging a plan for the recording of their debut album. Due to the success of these EPs, especially that of the single Highly Respected Rebel in the summer of 2012, Sunday Sun had the opportunity of making the acquaintance of a broad Dutch audience through performances at virtually all of the prominent music venues in the Netherlands. As a result of this abundance of live performances, due in part to their selection as 3FM Serious Talent, the group of friends evolved into a close-knit band with clear ambitions. Performances on De Wereld Draait Door and GIEL, the morning radio show on 3FM, followed suit. A mere six months after releasing a free download of their first EP, Sunday Sun performed at Noorderslag in Groningen.
The songs for the album were created with the same enthusiasm and at the same pace as their previous releases. Producer Rutger Hoedemaekers (aka Bart Constant, from VOICST and About, among others) took part in the band's creative process, helping to finalise their unfinished material. Rutger's approach was an inspiration for the band; by casting his creative light over the music and recording process he brought out the best in the band, the material and himself. The single I Call You Honey was produced by Rutger Hoedemaekers and Niels Zuiderhoek, who has previously worked with Kensington, among other bands.
