Music video debut: SunDown47 releases new video for song “Winter”
SunDown47’s newest record, “Along For The Ride,” perfectly combines Big Sky Americana with Heartland Rock, evoking the classic sounds of iconic artists such as Tom Petty, Ryan Adams, and Matthew Sweet. The video for the standout track, “Winter,” is being exclusively premiered by Big Takeover.
Despite the polished sound of the band, none of the material on the album was practiced beforehand. Lead singer and songwriter Steve Drymalski would present a demo to the band, they would discuss the desired vibe, and then immediately start recording. The meticulous attention to detail paid off, as “Along For The Ride” exceeded their initial vision.
The music of SunDown47 started gaining traction through word of mouth within Drymalski’s circle of friends. When Zach Bryan heard the record, he was so impressed that he invited SunDown47 to open for him at some shows. Drymalski initially thought it was a joke, but after some persuasion, he agreed.
While “Along For The Ride” serves as their musical guide, it is during live performances that the true essence of their music shines. Drymalski believes that taking the music out of the controlled studio environment and placing it in the chaotic atmosphere of a concert gives the songs a new depth and energy.
On the inspiration behind “Winter,” Drymalski shares that the song delves into the transient nature of relationships. He believes that when someone leaves an impact on us, a part of them remains with us in our souls. The song captures the fleeting feeling between the tangible and intangible as our minds recreate their presence to fill the void left behind.
The creation of “Along For The Ride” is a culmination of musical vision, time, and experience, reflecting a rich rock n roll history. Drymalski’s years of collaboration with legendary artists such as Neil Young, Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam have shaped his approach to music. However, what truly sets this record apart is its ability to encapsulate a moment in a song.
Growing up, Drymalski spent hours on his bedroom floor listening to records, imagining the stories behind the music. With “Along For The Ride,” he has brought his childhood fantasies to life. His ultimate goal is to evoke the same sense of wonder and inspiration in listeners as he experienced with his favorite albums.
In conclusion, SunDown47’s latest record is a testament to the power of music to transcend time and connect people through shared experiences. With their blend of Americana and Rock, SunDown47 is carving out a distinct path in the music industry, leaving a lasting impact on all who listen to their soulful sound.
