TRACK REVIEW: ERNIE – Sunsoaked EP

Fresh off the back of his acclaimed debut EP, and a Sam Fender support slot at home in Newcastle, local lad ERNIE drops his sophomore EP Sunsoaked.

The mood is lo-fi folk, a dreamy adventure through somewhere forested in North America. This collection of cinematic tracks rides the wide wavelengths of thought at the fuzzy edge of wakefulness. A contrast of hope is coaxed from the captivating vocal performances, slowly undoing the heavy coat of yearning brought on by subtly soft tracks that wrap around the heart. We’re exploring the warm bath of personal truths located below your frontal lobe. It’s music for the modern-day meditator who perhaps owns a Carhartt flannel shirt.
