In early 2021, American twee pop outfit Sullen Eyes released their self-titled debut EP<\/a>, digital only at the time (we previously<\/a> referenced it in our Dusted<\/em> feature). Sunday Records gives the first four tracks of that EP a well-deserved new life: together with four new songs, they can now also be admired on CD and vinyl. The band, named after a gem from Sarah Records legends the Sea Urchins<\/a>, has now grown from a trio to a five-piece, but the fresh tunes carry the same uptempo energy and melancholic feeling as the earlier work. That makes this Hardwood Floors And A Hand To Hold<\/em><\/a> compilation an enjoyable listen. Sublime guitar melodies, crisp vocals and a clear production – this is first-class jangle pop.<\/p>\n
