Sūn Byrd is a newly formed six-piece band from Oslo consisting
of Johan Helland (vocals), Audun Reknes (keys), Kristoffer
Lippestad (sax), Lyder Røed (trumpet), Markus Hafsund Gundersen (bass)
and Bård Berg (drums).
They released their debut single "Half The Truth" on 11 Jan which we rated highly and announced that they will be
releasing their eponymous debut album on 12 April. In between they released a further three singles
from the album which were bundled with the first as an EP "Hey Love" in March.
Based upon what we had heard from the band in the form of the four singles we were looking forward to the full album and have not been disappointed. Right from the outset, "Waiting For The Rain" is a well crafted jazz funk style song, The debut single "Half A Love" is followed by the funky "Hey Love", both of which have appeared previously along with the album closer "Free Yourself".
From the new songs, our picks are the mellow ballad "Night & Day" and the more uptempo "Keepin' Up" which has a bit of nod to the 80 pop.
