Seems like Sun Mahshene have pulled out all the stops on ‘Life is Joy’, which rings a good deal like Black Rebel Motorcycle Club save for vocals that probably have a bit more heaven sent qualities going for them. I do feel like this is a departure for the lads from Dublin, a chorus that is feisty but never breaking free of melodic overtures at the same time. ‘Life is Joy’ is a true epic, a live set centerpiece with true singalong potential and an instrumental break that reminds of a sumptuous early psychedelia wielding Verve (in particular the extended version of ‘She’s A Superstar’). Sun Mahshene have raised the bar here, expect many to be converted to their cause as a result. KH
