the multi-national epic psych-pop quintet, sunny day sets fire, release their debut album in the uk, 'summer palace', through wonderboat records. representing four different countries, including canada, hong kong, italy and uk, sunny day sets fire make soaring, wistful music that reflects their wide ranging backgrounds and influences. based in london, sunny day sets fire were originally a trio, but mauro (vocals / acoustic guitar), onyee (vocals / synths /frums) and max (guitar / baritone guitar) eventually enlisted ed (bass / synth) and matthew (drums / keys) to complete and create the band's trademark rich and textural sound. sunny day sets fire (the name taken from a band name generator off the internet) are a very hardworking band. since 2007, the band have released singles and eps across europe, us and australia, been remixed by the likes of css, diplo and the cool kids, had one of their tracks, 'lack of view', added to the soundtrack of us film 'american teen' and have toured the globe relentlessly. 'summer palace' is a beautifully crafted collection of quirky songs that range from the euphoric-pop of 'adrenaline' and 'wilderness' to the dark romanticism of 'mandarins'. and although the band cite love and the velvet underground as musical influences, it is difficult to pinpoint another band that sounds just like them. their varied backgrounds help make summer palace a truly unique tapestry of enduring pop gems. ....release date: 23/02/2009
