I can't express how happy I am that I found this gem.
Sūn Byrd is a 6-person band from Oslo I stumbled across a while ago from radio presenter Dan Digs but had the absolute pleasure of listening to their debut, self-titled album all day long today. A 9-piece sunshine is what that LP is.
The group pays tribute to soul music but with their own, modern touch. Imagine a blend of Thee Sacred Souls, Anderson .Paak & Steven Bamidele, with the appropriate live instruments for the genre. It's all blended with a lot of funk, creative energy & good vibes.
"Half the Truth" is what I picked to feature on the blog because I think it showcases their warmth, groove & soulfulness best. But again, the full record is so, so good - do yourself a favor & play it.
