Sunsoli, the band that hails from the Central Coast, will be back on Saturday, November 25, for a homecoming show to launch its debut self-titled album at Drifters Wharf in Gosford.
After eight years of playing together as The Sea Gypsies, they decided to change their name to Sunsoli, combining “sun” and soil” as a symbol of their coastal roots and musical harmony.
Sunsoli released a new single Time & Place in July and will perform a slew of east coast album launch dates in celebration of its release.
Working with esteemed producer Jack Nigro (DMA’s, Middle Kids, Julia Jacklin) out of the iconic The Grove Studios (Silverchair, Ocean Alley, Violent Soho) in their hometown on the Central Coast, the band also combined with coastal singer-songwriter Ashrae to co-write and collaborate on a number of tracks for the album.
The record was then mastered by Darren Ziesing (Flume, The Presets, Lime Cordiale).
With shimmering guitars and floating melodies, the five-piece band has wowed audiences across Australia at renowned festivals such as Beyond the Valley, Mountain Sounds and Lost Paradise.
They’ve also supported major acts like Birds of Tokyo, The Rubens, Ocean Alley and Winston Surfshirt.
Sunsoli’s much-anticipated album is a genre-bending blend of rhythmic synths and alternative rock, with an infusion of surf rock that pays homage to their coastal roots.
Triple J’s Claire Mooney sums-up the new album, Sunsoli, as “the new soundtrack for any long drive – sounding better than ever guys, super impressed”.
Special guests at the album launch, starting at 7pm, will be Ashrae and Tyrants.
