The  sound of Philadelphia based band Sun Airways has been compared to that of Animal Collective’s Merriweather Post Pavilion. At first when I heard there debut album Nocturne of Exploded Crystal Chandelier I thought that perhaps it may be another solo project from yet another component of Animal Collectives deep ensemble. But no, Sun Airways, who’s components are Jon Barthmus and Patrick Marsceill has no particular relation to Animal Collective. What they do have is very similar beautiful blissy-pop style accompanied by that amazing African rhythmic beat that Animal Collective has become known for. That being said, they still carry their own distinct direction with penetrating mid-range vocals and dreamy melodiousness which is exactly what got my attention with this track “Oh Naoko”.
