Stream “Jagged Midnight”, the Second Single From Sun Speak’s ‘Moon Preach’ (Premiere)

October 18, 2019 By Anthony Dean-Harris

The lead up to the new Sun Speak album, Moon Preach, continues with the release of the second single, "Jagged Midnight".

‘Sun Speak with Sara Serpa’

April 10, 2018 By Anthony Dean-Harris

Sun Speak, the Chicago duo of guitarist Matt Gold and drummer Nate Friedman, have always sounded great together. Since their 2014 debut, the pair have made a tight sound that works simply but makes epic leaps. We've been charmed by them for years.
