Pye Corner Audio – More Songs About The Sun

Pye Corner Audio – More Songs About The Sun continues Martin Jenkins’ sun-soaked sonic journey, serving as a companion and spiritual sequel to 2022’s Let’s Emerge!.

Blending Balearic textures, analogue electronics, and shimmering guitar work, the album expands on the warm, immersive soundworld established on its predecessor. Opening with “Euphoria”, featuring guitars from Andy Bell (Ride / Oasis), the record sets a tone of glowing optimism, layering distortion and saturation into something expansive rather than abrasive.

Drawing influence from the likes of Stereolab, Spacemen 3, Harmonia, and Cluster, the album leans more directly into its inspirations while maintaining a distinctive identity. Tracks like “Analogue Dreams”, “Cycle”, and “Rays Of Sunshine” move between rhythmic propulsion and hazy atmospherics, creating a cohesive and transportive listening experience.

Moments of contrast emerge too, particularly on “The Breath Of Now”, which features a spoken word contribution from Ian Rankin, introducing a darker edge that enhances the album’s central theme of light and shade. As Jenkins himself notes, the underlying thread is one of optimism — a reminder that even in uncertain times, there is always the promise of renewal.

Available in multiple limited vinyl editions, More Songs About The Sun is a rich and immersive release that will appeal to fans of electronic, ambient, and alternative music alike.
