In my brief listening relationship with Lana Del Rey, she seemed to aspire to find something of power ballads from the 80’s and 90’s and bring them in her own kind of context. For the most part, though, it’s not entirely successful, mainly because the end production tended to shout about its influence as opposed to let you hear it in between the lines. Vancouver band Sundays seem to want to capture something similar from the past, but thankfully they’re a little more restrained in doing so. Consequently, their new single, “World We Own” has something deep and alluring about it. A almost-brooding synth number that swells quietly, it brushes against power ballads from the aforementioned decades, but give it a modest relocation: hiding underneath the synths and lurking between the notes of the chorus. Have a listen to “World We Own” below, which will feature on the upcoming debut Of Eros And I EP from the band, which is due out later this year.
