Sundown - Anywhere Inside

Reviewed by James Fairfield

After 5 years of releasing EPs, gigging and supporting various bands around Europe, rock band Sundown finally come round to releasing their debut album, Anywhere Inside and do not fail to make a great first impression. It comes as sad news that they cancelled their North England and Scotland tour of the album as the record. The album is an intricate blend of acoustic and electric rock underpinned by a funky vibe that allows Anywhere Inside to make for essential easy listening as well as including a sweet dose of originality.

The album is at its heart a collection of love songs, but don’t let that deter you from giving it a listen, as it is full of bittersweet lyrics as well as having a few brutal riffs to accompany. The two opening tracks Inside and Later That Night are chilled out and as you can guess from the track names are fairly cheeky. While the later tracks take a more electrical approach to the music, most notably Just A ride, but still maintain a laid back sound.

For the final couple of tracks Sundown return to their acoustic roots to finish off the album on a lighter and slicker note that will leave you wanting more. Making this a promising debut album and leaving us hopeful for the future.
