Suns - Close Calls in the US Space Program [EP]

Close Calls in the US Space Program has recently been released by the Chicago six piece, Suns. The opening track ‘You are On’ introduces the EP with its melodic rhythms distinguished by Suns' melancholy vocals which shows how Suns suit easy listening on a Sunday afternoon perfectly. The more atmospheric tune, ‘Little Horn’ begins with a gentle guitar solo and calming lyrics which are slightly reminiscent of The Drums and Mumford and Suns mood-altering, composed sound.

‘Spare Parts’ of which is my preferred track off Close Calls in the US Space Program, expresses that each member of the band neatly complements each other, which drills a vast sense of emotion to the ear. The drumming accentuates the complete conformation of ‘Bright Lights,’ with their faultless performance, adding great rhythm and movement to each track. One thing the EP lacks is the key of versatility. Each track has its own great flare as a whole, but Close Calls in the US Space Program doesn’t offer a range of Suns' talent. The most admirable part of the band’s set up is the perfect use of percussion which adds an electric element to the overall identity of their music.
