Soft Rock Summer
It was hot. The sun was piecing through the drivers side window, turning his cheek pink as he drove onward towards the sea. The road ahead was completely empty. South Australia has a mysteriously vacant and magnetic mood out along It’s shore-line highways. A light breeze brought the mythical scent of summer. Driving is one of the greatest moments for any album to come to life. Listening in the car allows one to indulge in a dreamy auto pilot of nostalgia. Euphoric moments flash past, forest walks, nights at the disco, when a different kind of light as the sun now flickering across his face seemed to cast spells and when the promises of good times had no end. The little valley town was now approaching. He slowly rolled passed the one silent cafe next to the old post office coming to rest in an empty car park. Down at the waters edge near the jetty, the sun was quiet now. It was time for it to duck behind the clouds and head to bed. Collecting his thoughts , he disembarked the old ute but not taking too long as to miss the sun setting behind the cliffs. He meandered up the old jetty to the very end and stared out into the horizon. ⨯ . ⁺ ✦ ⊹ ꙳ ⁺ ‧ ⁺ ✦ ⊹ . * ꙳ ✦ ⊹ ⨯ . ⁺ ✦ ⊹ ꙳ ⁺ ‧ ⨯. ⁺ ✦ ⊹ . * ꙳ ✦ ⊹ The album is finally done. An unapologetic celebration of the rich friendship Surahn has with his Disco beginnings as Sidwho? and The Swiss, somehow married to the notion that a singer/ song writer can play acoustic guitar and write real songs, yet be a bass player and dance like someone possessed by the memory of Prince ; just being his funky self. Surahn has a lot of stories. Some of them are in this album, but many of them are left behind on the countless stages he played around the world as multi instrumentalist for juggernaut bands like Empire Of The Sun, Flight Facilities and Hayden James. His pillars of experience, like working closely with Usher for a few years in the US or his enchanted collaborations with Kimbra, give him credibility as a writer that not many can claim. His unique brand of Soft Rock / Jazz Funk and Disco are on full display here. Using the power of the groove he has crafted a treasure trove of Balearic gems, with the full intention that some of them may possibly be found washed up on a deserted island in decades to come, hopefully sampled into House music anthems of the future. A deeper look into countless remembered and forgotten Soft Rock & Jazz Funk artists reveals a tradition of recording music using the very best of instruments, tones and studio techniques to craft memorable songs that feel as equally at home on the dance floor as they do in the car. The willingness to hold a groove, to place a solo, to reach for a horn harmony and allow the music to breathe is what will allow this album to age well, like the fine wines he makes and the slow path he takes, Surahn truly is a musical enigma
