40 (Sunnyboys album)

The 40 years in between is nicely depicted in the change in voice while the energy and craftsmanship is still there in the sound, albeit a little fuller and rounder.

The first four tracks (or side A on the vinyl) comprises the four songs released on the band's self-titled 7" extended play in December 1980.

Anthony Gebhardt from BlackGC described the 4 tracks as "punchy, '60s channelling power pop nuggets par excellence, resplendent with youthful vigour and sharply honed energy.

They were committed to tape in a break from touring in Brisbane in 2018, fleshed out with some overdubs in 2019 and mixed by Konstantin Kersting.

"[6] Bronius Zumeris from Beat Magazine gave the album 7 out of 10 saying "One can rock out to the mod-pop quality of the first four songs and recall summer days sucking on namesake ice cubes and dreaming to be 'Alone with you, tonight'.
