Highly recommended.

Playing the Curtin tonight! Sonny writes the most glorious pop melodies that warm the cockles...

“The Sunsets, featuring members of Thee Oh Sees, the Fresh And Onlys, and Citay, plus Kelley Stoltz, providing sparse but carefully considered instrumentation. Citay’s Tahlia Harbour is the lone exception, although even she’s used sparingly; her deadpan counterpoints to Sonny’s stoney spaceman in “Planet of Women” or rationale-spouting youngster in “Lovin’ on an Older Gal” are impeccably timed, a fitting gee-whiz to Sonny’s endless aw-shucks. The production’s crisp and roomy, allowing each word to linger, each note its own space.

‘Tomorrow Is Alright’ feels like the work of a songwriter comfortable with himself and his limitations. So many bands put in a lot of work trying to make themselves sound older than their years; with their quiet confidence and no shortage of killer material, the Sunsets make it seem almost too easy.” - Pitchfork
