“Merging the sparkle of Dufilho’s textures in Apples in Stereo, and the baroque-influence of Carr’s vocals. A steady pulse of paranoia and psychedelia.” – Flood Magazine

Corner Suns – the Dallas-based duo of ​​John Dufilho (​​The Apples In Stereo, ​​The Deathray Davies) and ​​Brandon Carr (​​The Earlies) – will release its self-titled debut via ​​Idol Records on ​​Jan. 13th, 2017.

The 14-track album combines neo-psyche and baroque pop influences that will grab the attention of fans of artists such as ​​The Zombies, ​​Magnetic Fields, and ​​The Shins, that share a similar ability for sharp songwriting, memorable vocals, and pop hooks.

The album’s first single and music video is “Borrowed Time,” premiered via Flood Magazine and Glide Magazine respectively.

“After I stopped touring with ​​The Earlies in 2007, I had pretty much given up on creating music,” ​​Carr explains. “Fast forward to the summer of 2013, and I get a call from ​​John out of the blue asking if I’d be interested in singing on a new project of his.”

​​Carr had collaborated with ​​Dufilho in the past, and being aware of the latter’s “multi-instrumental prowess and penchant for song proliferation,” ​​Carr immediately recognized Corner Suns as his avenue back into music.

“My original idea for this record was for it to be really heavy,” says ​​Dufilho. “I wanted to make something that sounded like Black Sabbath, but I realized that I had no idea how to write songs like that.”

“It’s true, our psychedelic ​​Black Sabbath concept was a misadventure,” ​​Carr jokes. “My voice was still muddled from the years off, but ​​John helped me find it again, and the songs really began to come together.”

“When ​​Brandon and I worked together a few years back, I already loved his band ​​The Earlies,” ​​Dufilho remembers. “But as soon as I recorded him, I knew I wanted to write more songs for him to sing. He’s got an amazing voice – it’s really one of a kind.”

In addition to ​​Carr’s vocals, singer-songwriter ​​Sarah Jaffe is featured on two ​​Corner Suns tracks, and the album’s overall sound reflects the easy, collaborative nature of its creation.

“I’d play all instruments, sing, and send a mix to ​​Brandon in Abilene,” ​​Dufilho explains. “​​Brandon would come to Dallas on weekends and we’d drink, argue about whether ​​The Pixies are any good, and eventually get around to recording his vocals to replace mine.”

“​Borrowed Time,” the first single and video from the album is also the first song that ​​Dufilho wrote for the project.

“​‘Borrowed Time’ was inspired by artists I love like ​​Broadcast, ​​The Clientele, and ​​Jacco Gardner,” ​​Dufilho says. “​​Brandon laughed when he first heard it, because I’d given him a song with only two lines to sing.”

 “I was a little disappointed with that,” ​​Carr admits, “But I believe history will be on our side.”
