Sons of Sevilla chart their own musical geography with Street Light Moon. It's an album for endless summers and retro-futurist reveries, inspired by an entire world's worth of influences: the family-owned British pub where brothers Henry and Reuben Smith grew up, watching their parents sling drinks as songs by John Prine and J.J. Cale played over the speakers; the marina in Gibraltar where they spent three weeks aboard an old fishing trawler, writing the album's songs as waves splashed against the dock; Electric Deluxe Recorders, the recording studio in Austin, Texas, where they recorded Street Light Moon with Grammy-winning producer Adrian Quesada and a small group of multi-instrumentalists.
Street Light Moon finds the duo turning a new page and chasing down a warmer, wider sound. Gone are the bedroom-recordings. In their place are deep grooves, vintage keyboards, soulful textures, and contributions from the album's session musicians: drummer and flutist Geoff Mann (son of the world music legend Herbie Mann) and Afrobeat guitarist/bassist Marcos Garcia (aka Chico Mann).
Street Light Moon is every bit as colorful as the orange trees that line Sevilla's streets. Here, we're reintroduced to Henry and Reuben as songwriters and musical mood-setters. Their list of collaborators has grown. Their musical reach has widened. With Street Light Moon, Sons of Sevilla set sail for new waters, creating a sound that exists out of time and off the map.
