Too Many Suns are a Lisbon-based ensemble led by vocalist and guitarist Hugo Hugon who started he project in 2018. With João Cardoso on drums and Vasco Rato on bass joining the ranks, the band quickly gained momentum, crafting their unique sound via a DIY ethos in a Lisbon studio.
This creative collaboration resulted in their debut EP, Garden, featuring five songs produced by Gonçalo Formiga from Cave Story. Since making their entrance with the EP in 2019, Too Many Suns has been on a steady rise, introducing audiences to their diverse musical output.
With their first full-length album, Meaning of Light, released in 2020 and the sophomore EP, Quiet, in 2022, the band has demonstrated their versatility, exploring styles of folk and dreamy pop. The lineup expanded further with Simão Reis on guitar and keys, as the band started work on their upcoming second album, Reverie. The new album is set to be released via Reverie Records, a label co-founded by Too Many Suns with the mission of supporting new indie outfits in the pop and rock spheres.
Following the first two singles lifted from the album, “Gold” and “My Baby Goodbye,” they bring us the third new single with “Take Me Home,” a collaboration with Beatriz Nunes, the talented vocalist of Madredeus. Recorded at WAAHS studios by Ulpiano Capalbo and mixed and mastered by André Isidro at Ducktape Melodies, the track is a dreamy art rock adventure, exploring the profound role of love in self-reconstruction.
Opened by the airy twang of guitar chords, Hugo’s soft vocal leads glide in to thread alluring melodies and reflective lyricism as the voice of Beatriz gently rides alongside. With the subtly lively punch of drums, the song takes flight as a delicate indie jam brimming with jangly guitar tones, smooth rhythm and the sweet melodic tones of Hugo and Beatriz who lay down a charming duet.
With graceful ebb and flow the arrangement floats between serene moments of soothing vocals and hushed tones, and the lofty choruses of memorable vocal leads and vibrant instrumentation. Capturing an enduring sound of retro pop rock, “Take Me Home” serves up the perfect taste of the Too Many Suns sonic world while building up the excitement for their forthcoming full-length record.
