Grand Sun's debut LP, 'Sal Y Amore' is a sonic trip to the band's chaotic mind. While debuting their first bunch of songs (with the EP 'The Plastic People of The Universe', in 2018) they play just enough around their country, in festivals and concert halls, to find out that close contact with people is what they really want and need. This record is a caustic spice in a timeless party, where the band doesn't have any reservations in showing themselves as they want: intense and festive.
From the late-70's hip tune 'Palo Santo' to the delicate storytelling of 'A Picture' and the post-punk attire on 'Feeling Tired' and Circles', the band refers to the whole experience of growing up together, the existential fear and all the breakdowns. They talk about a contrast between innocent and idyllic love and a more mature type of relationships, hence the salt.
From Lisbon, Portugal; Grand Sun is António Reis, João Ribeiro, João Simões and Miguel da Costa Gomes. They sing about peculiar characters they find every day. They also sing about escapism and existential fear. You could call them a sunshine band with heavy influences from late 60's and 70's, sometimes a psychedelic pop act, most times with a garage/post-punk attitude.
