With Sunshine Wine, Stephen Sol & The 7 deliver a debut that feels timeless, steeped in the richness of folk-rock tradition yet unafraid to push its boundaries. The nine-piece collective crafts songs that are lush, textured, and brimming with humanity — from golden, horn-laced anthems to stripped-back ballads of quiet intimacy. It’s the kind of record that feels both lived-in and brand new, carrying an unmistakable warmth.
Each track unfolds like a chapter in an emotional story, flowing seamlessly from nostalgia (“Sunshine Wine”) to nocturnal mystery (“The Moon”), and finally to renewal and celebration (“Spring (I Made It)” and “Hum of Love”). The arrangements are dynamic but never overcrowded, allowing Stephen Sol’s expressive vocals and the ensemble’s layered harmonies to shine.
As debuts go, this is strikingly confident. The EP captures not only a sound but a worldview — one that prizes joy, love, and connection in equal measure. It’s a record meant to be shared, resonating like the warmth of late summer carried into autumn.
