Caravana Sun | Silver Linings EP Review



Caravana Sun are here with an EP to make you sing, make you dance, and ultimately make you cherish life. The six-track offering is just ahead of the approaching warmer weather, but until then it's sure to make you long for summer just that little bit harder. Headed by an ode to a lost friend, Silver Linings is unafraid of reality. Instead Caravana Sun chose to face it head on with a "full body experience" collection that will make listeners feel just as much as it will make them boogie.

Dripping with heartfelt lyrics, indie saturated guitar and percussion, and a whole bowlful of soul, Caravana Sun have proved successful music doesn't need to show off, it just needs to show up. The foursome have hit a sweet spot between indie musicality and smart lyrics. These are stories you'll want to play again and again, with no time for the dust to settle. The title track, Silver Linings, is particularly impressive.

This is an EP of substance, and it's one that will stay relevant for years to come.

Come Back is a heartfelt, honest and raw take on the loss of a loved one.  Amidst a sea of emotion surrounding the reality of losing something so precious, lies a pure human cry for that person to return.  To fill the space that nobody could replace.  The song was inspired when fellow musician and good friend of the band Jae Haydon, lost his life in the ocean, surfing the reefs of Indonesia.  Though he passed away doing something he loved, there was still such an overwhelmingly sad tone that had washed over everybody he touched.  Jae was a young, incredible musician and friend to so many.  This song is dedicated to Jae but also a song for his family and everybody who had the great fortune to know him.”

Silver Linings is available now.
