about

Thought lost to the mists of time, and the pre-Internet memory hole, Sounds of Sunshine is the debut album from Somerset Meadows. A wobbly and decidedly lo-fi affair, it was recorded on 4-tracks, and bleeding edge "digital" technology. A pop artifact. An anachronism. A crazy recording project from an era where no one knew where the hell Portland was on a map. So old that I can't find the Photoshop files for the cover, so I had to take a photo!
