Comments for Sundays, The, Reading, Writing and Arithmetic

Nice ethereal, mellow, groundbreaking sound. Nice melodies. So-so songs. Cranberries steal from the Sundays shamelessly.

I love the dischordant guitar and vocal interplay, I would like to see a photo of the band, any known sites?

Harriet Wheeler and the Sundays have been forgotten about ever since the end of the 80's. But there sound still lives within the latest bands, such as the cranberries. I personally reccomend this album.

Now this is a great album. I can listen to it numerous times and never get tired of it. I get energized and relaxed at the same time when I listen to Harriet's voice and the way it interacts with and builds on the instrumental background. These songs would be wonderful even without Harriet, but she's an essential element to making this album the joyride that it is. Check this album out if you like acoustic guitar and female vocalists with high, distinct voices. Whether you like "alternative" or "new age/jazz," you'll no doubt love this album.

Intense, but easy on the ears, this debut album by The Sundays ranks in my personal Top Five of all time. Harriet Wheeler's lilting vocals are backed up by one of the most creative bands around. It's a sound all it's own, but you can hear parts of it in the music of many new soft/folk alternative bands. I can't get tired of this album.
