Sunday (1994), The Debut Tour, May 7
Do you remember where you were when you heard your new favorite band? That rush of emotions flows through us like gentle electricity as we embrace Sunday (1994) as a permanent part of our daily listening. The British-American dream-pop trio, with future stardom scrawled across our hearts, released their debut album last spring, and now set out across North America for a headlining tour that plays the intimate Brighton Music Hall in Allston on May 7. The provocative band with a lush, ‘gazing melancholy in its sound, is centered around Englishman Lee Newell (who we have covered before in former lives) and Los Angeles’ Paige Turner. There’s a golden, sun-kissed nostalgia to these songs, which blend jangle-pop, shoegaze, and mainstream pop magnetism to awe-inspiring effect, and our current fave is the ethereal “Stained Glass Window.” Sunday (1994) say this about it: “[It] is a declaration of love. A personal story about defying the ‘sinful’ label given by old texts and preachers with bad breath. ‘I took some pictures of me and you and I super-glued them over scriptures, so I could worship something true.’” Let us pray. Tickets go on sale Friday (January 31) at 10 a.m. local time.
