"...the airplane view of whipped cream clouds, the one you notice in the crowd..." Sonya raps folkfully in an ode to the senses on her sixth album (and second Innerstate Records release). Senses are indeed warmed and twisted like taffy on the singer-songwriter's most adventurous indie-folk-pop piece to-date. Picture the Andrew Sisters visit Exene Cervenka on the way to a Sandy Denny tribute...with backwards guitar loops, chamber strings, and a touch of sax reminiscent of Stan Getz. Add rich vocal harmonies that are achingly Eastern European one moment and sparkly 60s beach-party the next, and you've got a shining "Sun in Mind".
