Grand Sun's debut LP, 'Sal Y Amore' is a sonic trip to the band's chaotic mind. While debuting their first bunch of songs (with the EP 'The Plastic People of The Universe', in 2018) they play just enough around their country, in festivals and concert halls, to find out that close contact with people is what they really want and need. This record is a caustic spice in a timeless party, where the band doesn't have any reservation of showing themselves as they want: intense and festive.
The LP's opener, 'River' is a drone-ey wave waiting for the clash, that happens with 'She Wants You', a sludgy garage rock song in the ways of MBV meeting Alice in Chains. From the late-70's hip tune 'Palo Santo' to the delicate storytelling of 'A Picture' and the post-punk attire on 'Feeling Tired' and Circles', the band refers to the whole experience of growing up together, the existential fear and all the breakdowns. They talk about a contrast between innocent and idyllic love and a more mature type of relationships, hence the salt.
This record draws inspiration from cult acts such as The Velvet Underground, The Zombies, Wire, The Rain Parade or Pavement and recent ones like Omni, Parquet Courts, King Gizzard & Lizzard Wizzard, and Beach Fossils.
Without salt, there is no love.
