Following a pair of platters for Fat Possum, San Francisco janglers Sonny and the Sunsets have hooked up with Polyvinyl Records to issue their next set, Longtime Companion. The ten-song outing arrives June 26.
While the act previously favoured a sugary '60s pop sound, most recently on last year's Hit After Hit, Longtime Companion apparently has Sonny Smith and co. packing up their beach blankets and heading to the ranch for the country-flavoured affair.
You can get a sample of the band's new sounds via a stream of the pedal steel-soaked "Pretend You Love Me" down below.
Thanks to Pitchfork for the tip.
Longtime Companion:
1. I Was Born
2. Dried Blood
3. Children of the Beehive
4. Pretend You Love Me
5. Year of the Cock
6. Rhinestone Sunset
7. I See the Void
8. Sea of Darkness
9. My Mind Messed Up
10. Longtime Companion
