“I’m tired, but I don’t want to sleep right now,” elucidates Chris Jones amongst the enchanting guitars of Circular Sun. The song, nestled in the middle of Sunstack Jones’ recently released summer LP Roam, is a glimmering example of the group’s songwriting dexterity first showcased in their debut full-length Sure Fire Ways to Sweeten the Mind, released in 2012.

Both aforementioned records have been self-released via their makeshift label Mammoth Bell. “It was the only option available to us really and we just wanted to get it out there,” explains Jones. “In five years time we’ll probably have a bunch of records out, you’d think at some point someone will pick up on it and help us get it out there on a wider scale.”

The group’s impassioned belief in what they are doing has ensured their colourful melodies do in fact reach the surface. Unapologetically this band prefer holing up in the studio to work on new material rather than taking their music on the road – which may partly explain the measured discovery of their art. “It’d drive me mad though, man, playing the same songs over and over,” Jones explains. “We’ve only done a handful of gigs promoting Roam, but had we done any more we would have just ended up playing our new stuff anyway.”
