Lawrence, Kansas
While the driving force behind this release may be the neo-psych influenced guitar, the vocals of wife and husband Jenna and Brian Goodman create a final, cohesive layer and make it one of our favorite releases this season. SONA brings back the best elements of shoegaze and utilizes the kind of layering that pairs perfectly with this mellow season. This EP and the progression from their last release should not go unnoticed.
Favorite tracks: “Pop Song” and “Further From the Sun”
