The Kumari - Fall In Love With The Sun 7” (Heavy Soul Records)
Garage-psych-surf four-piece from London release debut single
The first Kumari 7" is out now on Heavy Soul Records - http://www.heavysoul45s.co.uk - featuring 'Fall In Love With The Sun' b/w 'Don't You Dare' and 'Bee'. A 250 copy release
The first review said...
"A masterclass in sixties guitar pop. The Kumari can't decide whether they're psych, garage or surf. They do each so well however that it would be an uncharitable soul who demanded they pick a single genre and stick to it. "Fall In Love With The Sun" is kindred spirit to the reverb-drenched surfsploitation gems that the Allah La's were being widely praised for last year, albeit with an added layer of snotty bravado that suggests the Seeds were as much of an influence as the Surfaris. Elsewhere there's plenty more in the way of moody Doors style organs, gritty r&b vocals that are pure '65, blistering surf guitar runs and a general sense that prog rock never happened" - The Active Listener
The band formed in late 2011 and have already shared a stage with The Moons, Temples, Charlie Boyer & The Voyeurs, and The Hypnotic Eye.
Other kind words said about The Kumari...
“The kicky beats and vintage, perfectly tinny sound serve as a fitting tribute laid at the feet of Blunstone, Burdon, and the early days of Jagger/Richards...Rather highly recommended, indeed” -Fuzzy Logic
"dreaming music for garage dreamer addicts" - RMC 103.1 Paris

Great! "Watching You" hit me the hardest with its great vocals. Fall In Love With The Sun is also great. And "She Was Mine" is very Beaux (without being too Beaux)!

Thanks Mark! 'Watching You' should be out on 7" late summer/early autumn. 'Fall In Love' single has gotten some lovely feedback and selling well.

VERY COOL SOUNDS!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!

 

[Phil Istine]

orders from all over Europe and America so far. :)

 

[EXPO67]

It's one of the best new records for a long time...."Don't You Dare" is an excelent version and of course having the music recorded at Sandgate Sound Studios helps with the vintage sound.

Cool! I´ll be in touch. Some friends of mine are threatening to stage another 3-day garage festival this fall. You would be a perfect fit!
