NYC band on the rise: Steady Sun

if you’re looking for a two-minute, three-chord jam, Steady Sun is not what you are looking for. But for anyone seeking a band to show what can happen when five insane musicians decide to form a roots rock band, look no further.

This band’s new record ‘Good Evening’ showcases their inexhaustible imagination, filled with Classical influences, Jazz inflections, and rock’s freedoms thrown together behind lead singer Dylan Nowik’s piercing pipes. This group is at the top of their form and re-inventing themselves at every turn. One of their best tracs, ‘Eyes Wide,’ is a reinterpretation of the love song format as a glittering folk jam, complete with fiddle solo and enough harmonies to make anyone fall in love. ‘Actress,’ streaming below, is a tastefully arranged moody and sparse blues. The record is a surprising statement from a young band whose first release was just a few months ago. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
