Thee Sinseers
Sinseerly Yours (yellow)
To say that The Sinseers play oldies would be a misnomer. Fronted by bandleader and son of East Los Angeles Joey Quiniones, the group has quietly chipped away at the sounds of R&B and soul for the last half-decade. Quinones and his crew have continuously created a distinctive vibe that explores all aspects of a timeless genre,bringing together their interpretation of music through an unmistakable modern lens. All of the album's stunning tracks were recorded in a converted studio space in Rialto, California, known as Second Hand Sounds which allowed the group to experiment with their sound like never before... this time, the group managed to take aseries of big swings, only to emerge with a fuller, more pronounced version ofthemselves. Despite those new strides, the band remains wholly committed to its sonic aesthetic while injecting its brand of vibrant 21st-century cool. Of course, the group has never been the type to shy away from their influences as they expertly toggle between '60s pop vis-à-vie early Beatles records to obscure dancehall Jamaican tunes -- all fully extrapolated and reinterpreted through modern Chicano soul sound that the group has built their everlasting repertoire on. Quinones and bandmates have continued to apply what they've learned from their previous releases and their relentless touring schedule throughout the country. The melting pot of ideas is showcased with incredibly lush orchestrations and arrangements, married with pitch-perfect harmonies, allowing the group to further solidify themselves inthe pantheon of the Southern Californian songbook. Edition on yellow vinyl.
