With a genre-bending sound that blends old country folk and heady indie pop, Sunmay sweeps listeners down dusty roads full of broken stories, bright guitars, sad harmonicas and sweet, wistful girl/boy harmonies.
Bio / Background
Sunmay's debut, "You Can Make Beautiful Things," defies easy categorization. Full of the understated sparseness of old country folk, it is woven throughout with pure pop sensibility and lush orchestration. The record showcases Sunmay's split affinity for acoustic purity and electronic experimentation.
From the invisibility of Meek's layered production to Pugh's melodic and intuitive guitar, Sunmay's first obligation is to the song, each element added with intention. Dubbed "a storyteller in the purest sense" and "the latest folk savior to watch" (Albuquerque Weekly), Bartley writes intelligent, intimate, and stunningly poetic songs. Her voice, compared to Beth Orton (Seattle Weekly) and Natalie Merchant (Willamette Week), is
gorgeous and sincere, as she entwines her snapshot stories into the rootsy, ethereal sounds she creates with Pugh and Scheen. Bartley and Pugh began playing music together in her attic apartment in late 2000.
