Rock, Pop Rock, Folk Rock, Dream Pop, Vocal, Psychedelic, 2014-es album.
Limited edition DIGI pack CD újra kiadás, 2020.
Junkboy’s Sovereign Sky album is a case of art imitating art it was paying homage to. ‘We were so in love with lost, private-press albums of the hippie era’, explain brothers Mik and Rich Hanscomb, ‘that it was ironic the album became what we had taken so much inspiration from…’ Rich picks up the story. ‘It came out on vinyl in 2014. Our then long-time label decided to self-distribute with this release. We were psychedelic guinea pigs if you will. Alas, some genuine personal issues impacted the label’s ability to – put bluntly – get it into shops. The same issues meant digital distribution was nonexistent too.
„Sovereign Sky” channels the kind of music Mik and Rich have listened to since youth. A Thames Estuary take on the lo-fidelity, budget -baroque of the first Cardinal LP and the vintage mellifluousness of The Lilys. There’s also a healthy dose of British Romanticism – an imaginary Albion in their heads somewhere between the socialist utopia of William Morris and Bob Stanley’s Gather In The Mushrooms compilations- while their hearts lie sun-kissed and blissed in Southern California like a pair of burnt out troubadours in deck shoes sourced with meticulous discernment from the Shebuya Kei district of Tokyo.
