Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

The hope of a New Year can often be filled with expectation that is derived from fighting the anxiety of the one that is passing by, that our projection is one that can find us trapped in the same old routine, the same passing fears, the orgy of resolutions laid waste, fallen soldiers on the mound of good intentions and one that can seem to find the future, the tomorrows of our future possibility rather than days which seem immaterial.

We may only have one Sun in which to feel the benefit of its life-giving energy, however a collection, a storm of local fireballs and atomic rich musicians under the banner of The Suns can enthuse and inspire just as much radiance and warmth when viewed up close, and as their latest single readily shows just how in groove they are as the hours of 2022 remain in their infancy.

Immaterial Days is buoyant, a song that has been placed on a trampoline and given free range to thrill the spectators with its ability to be graceful and yet at the same time boisterous, a song of deep meaning and the framing of the message of our times, a philosophy to mentally wrestle with, and yet so upbeat that you cannot help bit find the moment in which to sing in any manner you like because the tune and the fine delivery of the vocal demands it to be so.

Nothing is truly immaterial, only the dogma of opinion when it is biased, when it digs the hole of irrelevant speech, for the Immaterial Days are behind us, and everything we now produce should be seen as having a voice of reason, and to those that cannot see the worth of it then they should find the darkness reassuring, for them The Suns can only be physically beautiful for those prepared to listen.

The Suns are always visible, and in this their latest single, they are evident, persuasive, full of groove, fire and incidence they are the reminder of what can all aspire to be. A cracking song with sheer guts and oomph, 2022 is off to a flyer.
