Paul Newman - Sonna - split - 7

Labels: Temporary Residence
Review by: Nadia Almashoor

Fine instrumentation of the same name offered by these two bands. Both majestically composed and crafted into perfection.

The Newman’s are exactly what you need on a hot summer’s day to cool you down. Pleasant and relaxing, they sort of put you in an idle mood. Soft and dreamy. Making such fine background music.

Sonna on the other hand results in pure ceiling staring. I might need to change my needle just because of this track. Seriously. They introduce with electronic drum beats then slowly with that super nice guitar melodies. Like ripples in a lake, they are calm and enchanting. Drawing my attention to every groove, forcefully preventing me from doing anything else. Driving and repetitous without being exhausting. They drown out towards the end with heavy strumming and ‘normal’ drumming, going faster and faster. Then twinkles off nicely. Amazing.
