MP3: Sundress - "Derelict"
“Sundress has emerged from deep Texas with a very big shoegazing sound which takes a 90s British export (think blissed out spiritualized or a spaced out radiohead) and does it with such panache it's absurd that they're so young….at times howling guitar psychedelia and at others heartfelt songsmithery, 'fever' is a harbringer of future greatness.” – Rough Trade
“…Sundress really do appear to be on the verge of blowing up. … The Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne is a fan—he accosted the band about potential opening slots for the Lips after catching the band perform recently at The Loft—and the band has also scored choice gigs for later on this year at various festivals around the state. Considering how alluring and hypnotizing a sound this band boasts, though, none of this should come as a surprise.” – Dallas Observer
Sundress is an American psychedelic-pop band, formed in Denton, Texas in 2010.
Sundress was created by principle members Ryan McAdams, bassist Drew McCary and guitarist Kennon Talley. After several names (This Old House, ODYSSEY), due to legal matters and band member changes, keyboardist Jim Harrington and drummer Brack Cantrell were brought into the mix to make up today’s present lineup known as Sundress.
Sundress has been described as having an ethereal shoegaze and dream pop sound, while nodding at classic influences Pink Floyd, Sparklehorse, Slowdive Spacemen 3 and The Beatles.
Within one year, Sundress was nominated for a Dallas Observer Music Award for Best New Band, opened for larger acts like, Washed Out, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Mister Heavenly, The Clientele, Vetiver, Tame Impala, Sleepy Sun and Stardeath and White Dwarfs, and made appearances at festivals like SXSW, 35 in Denton and Free Press Fest in Houston.
After one year under their belts and promising futures, it appears the young men of Sundress have found their legs.
