Sun by The Toms
It’s not hard to envision a recording studio control room full of familiar faces using their familiar production skills to shape this Alternative, Pop and EDM masterpiece. Grammy-nominated writer and producer Tommy Marolda has broken all boundaries with earth-shaking grooves and melodic chemistry: “Nikki Nikki Wah Wah” with it’s stutter effects and driving kick drum, “Sun” drenched in Beatlesque harmonies and mesmerizing guitars, the oddball “Therapist” with its twisted chord changes and relentless hook. This is clearly a departure from The Toms' power pop classic sound, but the songwriting and production is brilliant and welcome.
"Fans of Todd Rundgren will find much to applaud about Tommy’s DIY studio expertise. Covering a number of instruments and much of the vocals himself, Tommy sounds like sugar pop icons The Archies on speed, with a Robin Gibb / Bee Gees effect in play here." -- mwe3.com
