Album Review: Sounds Like Sunset - We Could Leave Tonight

Sydney shoegazers Sounds Like Sunset missed the zeitgeist in the ‘90s and never really got the kudos they honestly deserved. With the second wave of acolytes coming through though it’s high time the trio stood up and be counted – and We Could Leave Tonight is a strong testament to a band that knows how to write strong compositions with emotional heft and sonic might. Songs like Misunderstand and Sunshine float along with the ring of Swervedriver in their ears, whilst Fears tugs at the heartstrings. A studied exhibition of sonorous nostalgia.
