Sunday (1994) appropriately released their latest single Devotion on a Sunday… but in 2025, not in 1994. It provided another taster for an EP this is sure to take the band to the next level, on top of their upcoming UK tour which is getting fans excited. Here is a band that has a lot to offer: beautiful vocals from Paige Turner, backed up with shimmering guitar work from real life partner Lee Newell, with lyrics that are always on the edge with some really clever thinking behind them.
Written and recorded in their one bedroom flat, Devotion is a very dreamy, indie EP that will make many a playlist this summer. The title track is the opener for the six-track EP, with lyrics as clever as ever, with Turner singing the memorable line: “you’ve got a past that a preacher couldn’t fix.” Doomsday was another of the early releases and is one of the best on here. For us, the lyrics are a massive part of the attraction of Sunday (1994), with more quirky lines including: “I hear church bells from a nearby funeral/and now I picture you six feet underground.” Newell excels on this track with some explosive guitar riffs.
Rain is very easy on the ears, while the lyrics continue to excel in Still Blue with the line “threw my lipstick in the trash/all my mouth has seen is my prescriptions.” Some of the lyrics are guttural while some are more uplifting, there is certainly an element of dark humour running through each track. Picking Flowers is a decent track too, but it’s the concluding song Silver Ford which is the real standout on the EP, telling a story of young love.
Get Sunday (1994) on a playlist and have a listen, they deliver the perfect music for the fine weather that we’ll (hopefully) experience in the coming months. With the recent announcement of their biggest UK tour to date, make sure you catch Sunday (1994) before they start to dominate even bigger venues, because 2025 is going to see them explode.
