High Sunn, the brightcore project of prolific San Francisco-based singer-songwriter Justin Cheromiah, has been a constant and welcome factor in my life over the past 10 years. The Hopeless Romantic EP and Missed Connections LP in particular have made quite a few rounds on my turntable, but I’ve also found his more recent work, such as Flawless Recollections, worthwhile (I’ve written about other albums here, but not everything is available online anymore, so I’ve removed those posts). Anyway, this compilation featuring 20 rarities, unreleased songs and deleted tracks is reportedly the official last ever release of High Sunn.

It’s hard to believe that these tunes were nearly lost, because what a joy it is to hear hits-that-will-never-be like AI School, Sore Throat, Playlist and Honestly—those signature jangly guitar melodies and hazy vocals, irresistible as ever. Thanks for everything, Justin!

This was something that you wanted me to share, so I hope you can understand this is our secret is out now digitally (self-released).
