about

Our Day in the Sun chronicles the adventures of the authors through their traumatic trip from land to sea and back; from the obsessive mantras of grabbing for a dream to the restorative mantras of the post-grievous. It is based on a true story of ambition, demise and redemption told in musical vignette. Our Day in the Sun marks the arrival of trance-folk pop, with grooving stand up bass melodies, counterpoint guitars, haunting out-of-tune pianos, and poly-rhythmic percussion smashed against your speakers; Phil Spector’s wall-of-sound adapted and retrofitted from over-the-counter-microphones through state-of-the-art computer programs. Had Belle and Sebastian left If You’re Feeling Sinister to age in a cask full of Animal Collective and Radiohead this album would’ve been made already. But they didn’t. So we had to.
