Check Out Sun Seeker’s Album Release Feat. Nightingail, Styrofoam Winos & DJ Briston Maroney

On June 4, Nashville psych-folk trio Sun Seeker will release its debut full-length, A Sunrise in a Basement. As anyone who’s been paying attention to the local rock scene for the past half-decade or so can tell you, it’s been a long time coming. The outfit released its Biddeford EP back in 2017 via Jack White’s Third Man Records, and was a regular presence at venues and house shows around town until, you know, the whole pandemic thing. But Sun Seeker will be back to celebrate the release of Sunrise — out via Pittsburgh indie Misra Records — this weekend at The Basement, and attendees can expect to hear some melodically rich folk-indebted indie rock. A Sunrise in a Basement songs “IFSN” (which features vocals from excellent local psych-pop artist Liza Anne) and “Gettin’ Tired” are lush and tuneful, informed by the kind of ’60s and ’70s sunshine pop that was perfected by songwriters like Brian Wilson, Emitt Rhodes and Harry Nilsson. Sun Seeker will be joined by their friends Nightingail and Styrofoam Winos at Saturday’s show, with a DJ set from Briston Maroney. Cover is $5, and the show will take place in the parking lot, with masks required. 2 p.m. Saturday, June 5, at The Basement, 1604 Eighth Ave. S. D. PATRICK RODGERS
