As you probably know by now, The Analog Kid lives for b-sides and non-album cuts. In this continuing series, I will share some of my favorite EPs and 12″ singles from over the years in their entirety. And since it’s digital, you don’t have to worry about correctly setting the turntable speed to 33⅓ or 45!

It’s been almost a year since we heard rumblings that the long-absent English band The Sundays might be planning a return, but unfortunately nothing official has happened as of yet. I suppose the long delay shouldn’t surprise long-time fans like me– after all, it’s been almost eighteen years since the reclusive band’s last release (1997’s Static & Silence), and even that album took five years to make.

Blind, an Album by The Sundays. Artist, The Sundays. Unlike many sophomore albums, The Sundays reemerged with an even more. Rar 3.50 stars.

Husband and wife David Gavurin and Harriet Wheeler have confirmed that they are working on new material, and I can only hope that one day we’ll get to hear some new Sundays music (and, hopefully, some live dates as well!). In the meantime, take a listen to the band’s 1989 debut single “Can’t Be Sure”– what a wonderful, wonderful pop song. The 12″ also contains the non-album track “Don’t Tell Your Mother,” a song that the band recorded and mixed during one quick studio session in 1988. See, they can work quickly when necessary!

Many artists have tried to emulate the ethereal beauty of The Sundays (I’m looking at you, Dolores O’Riordan), and most have failed. If Harriet and David simply need a little more time to make sure their new music lives up to the extremely high standard set by their first three albums, I will be more than happy to wait.

Note: The Sundays were the subject of one of my all-time favorite Analog Kid blog posts, first published back in November of 2013. Check it out if you’d like!

It took the Sundays five years to deliver their third album, Static & Silence. Five years is a long time, especially in the quicksilver world of pop music, but the Sundays sound totally unbothered by their absence on Static & Silence. Instead of sounding labored and forced, the album is gentle and effortless, as if it were recorded five months after Blind instead of five years. In some ways, that's a disappointment -- it would have been nice for the duo to show some progression, considering all of their time off -- but the record delivers the pleasant, endearing jangle pop that is the Sundays' signature sound. There's certainly nothing as catchy as 'Here's Where the Story Ends' on Static & Silence, and there aren't many songs that are instantly memorable, yet the album has a quiet charm that should satisfy most longtime fans.
