'Sun In My Pocket' released on Xtra Mile Recordings
Sonicflyer will release their debut EP 'Sun In My Pocket' on 28th January 2008 through Xtra Mile Recordings on CD only, preceded a week earlier by its release through iTunes and other major DSPs.
Tracklisting:
1. Sun In My Pocket
2. Tonight
3. Hundred Reasons
4. Overseas (home demo)
Sonicflyer were formed in Barnaul, a remote town in Southern Siberia, by brother and sister duo Yulia (vocals, lead guitar) and Dima (drums). The siblings fostered a love of British guitar music from seeing the likes of Oasis and The Verve on a local pirate TV station, and in 2006 they moved to London to pursue their dream. Quickly recruiting Chris (rhythm guitar, backing vocals) and Rob (bass, backing vocals), the band developed Yulia's yearning pop songs of hope and escapism, coupling their Britpop influences with an intense, layered sound that recalls My Bloody Valentine, Chapterhouse or Mew.
Soon after moving to the UK, a childhood dream was realised when the band were personally invited by Noel Gallagher to support him at an acoustic gig in Moscow. The plaudits continued to come thick and fast, with a breathtaking sunset performance at Latitude Festival leading to Silversun Pickups requesting them as the main support on their UK tour in September 2007.
A deal with Xtra Mile Recordings soon followed, and Sonicflyer took to the studio to record and produce the 'Sun In My Pocket' EP: a document of their extraordinary journey so far, and the start of a new chapter in which long-held aspirations seem set to become a reality.
'The best band we've found on Myspace' - NME
'Brilliant is an understatement' - Gigwise
'Hugely proficient' - Uncut
'Sun in my Pocket has Echoes of The Breeders and The Pixies...really beautiful' - Sarah Darling, XFM
