LISTEN: Sunstack Jones share new sinlge ‘By The By’

Liverpool-based collective Sunstack Jones are something of a pre-emptive strike on the inevitably dull British summer, bringing forth songs that stand out like slants of light in a dusty old room. Defined as a loose-knit collective of “always two, sometimes three, but mostly four, maybe five, musicians,” Christopher Jones (vocals/guitar) deems it “a necessary accident that we were invented.

Their aim is to make immersive music, transporting you to a lethargic euphoria with billowing soundscapes to soothe the soul.

The band’s soul-psyche dream-pop sound caught the attention of Nick McCabe, the lead guitarist of The Verve. He’s mastered their third album, and brought a 3D quality, sprinkling it with some extra magic.

‘By The By’, the second release from the forthcoming album, is all delicious shuffling sun-drenched folk, framed in rich, warm and Laurel Canyon harmonies, and layers of slide guitar floating through its picture perfect pastoral scene.

The album, as wholesome and warming a collection of psych-folk work as you could hope for, will find its long awaited moment in the sun on its release end of June.
