Ball of Wax 34 Songs: Sun Tunnels – “Notice Me”

Our old friend Louis O’Callaghan and his Sun Tunnels cohort brings us a beauty of a waltz with “Notice Me.” I was lucky enough to experience the full-band Sun Tunnels experience at Folklife this year, and it made me very excited both to see more such performances and to hear some recordings fleshed out with his bandmates Sarah and Sugar McGuinn. And now that I’ve heard this track I’m even more excited at the prospect of a Sun Tunnels full-length. As a longtime Louis O’Callaghan fan, the gradually building vocal and instrumental layering that the McGuinns bring to bear upon Louis’s always top-notch songwriting is just an absolute joy to hear. Whatever it was titled, “Notice Me” would demand to be noticed.
