Title - 'Sun Via'
Artist - Nick Perri & The Underground Thieves
For those not in the know, Nick Perri & The Underground Thieves, a Philadelphia-based rock band led by artist/songwriter/producer Nick Perri, are about to unleash their highly anticipated debut album, Sun Via.
Recorded and produced by Perri, Sun Via (out August 15th, 2020) is comprised of 10 original songs and is noted as being (and of which now, having listened to it twice, I can concur) a cohesive mix of rock, alternative, Americana, and psychedelia-infused tracks.
The band also announced plans to live-stream an album release show at the Ardmore Music Hall. The full band, full production concert will take place the day the group’s highly anticipated debut is released, the aforementioned August 14th, 2020.
In addition, Nick and The Thieves will open two Drive-In shows supporting British rock band The Struts later this month.
“It’s a whirlwind time, launching an album, gearing up for live shows, especially under these extremely different conditions," Nick admits. "We’re taking it one day at a time, but excited to potentially lift some spirits as get back to doing what we do; entertain.”
1. 'Feeling Good'
2. 'I Want You'
3. 'Fall'
4. 'Excess'
5. 'You'
6. 'Everybody Wants One'
7. 'Daughters & Sons'
8. 'Let You Know'
9. '5.0.1'
10. 'White Noise'
Opening with the funky blues of the lead single, 'Feeling Good,' they back that up with the melodic, laid back AOR of 'I Want You,' the translucent psychedelia of 'Fall,' and then comes the serious Uni-vibe orientations and constructions of 'Excess' which are followed by the beautiful palate cleanser, 'You.'
Next up is one of my own personal favorites, the rock hipsway of 'Everybody Wants One' which is followed by the lush mid-tempo harmonies of 'Daughters & Sons,' the mellow psych rocker 'Let You Know,' and then this sonically terrific, heartfelt passion project rounds out with the free flowing instrumental '5.0.1,' closing on the barnstorming guitar fest within 'White Noise.'
"Sun Via is a labor of love and I gave it everything I had to give,” says Perri. “It was a long process, and I believe the songs and sounds reflect that effort."
"I’m very proud of the album top-to-bottom, and I’m excited to finally share it.”
