Today's Song You Should Know: 'Sun Roll In' By Prim Woes

One of the things that makes music magical are the moments when you fall in love with something completely unexpected. You listen to a track by a band you've never heard of and while you have difficulty articulating exactly why you love it, you come out of that happy place to realize you've been listening to the same song over and over again for an hour.

That moment of bliss perfectly describes how I felt after I first heard "Sun Roll In," the lead-off single by the new Minneapolis band Prim Woes. The trio is comprised of Elise Pfau (vocals/guitar), Jay Simonson (vocals/guitar) and Shelby Lano (synths, beats, vocals). Pfau and Simonson first played together in the garage-rock band Nice Purse, but if that's the vibe you're expecting with "Sun Roll In," you're going to be disappointed.

"Sun Roll In" is this breezy and sometimes sparse amalgamation of styles - equal parts Midwestern Americana and classic 1960s California country alt rock. It's impossible to define completely, but it's one of those songs that just washes over you and transports you to this place you'll want to return to again and again.

The first Prim Woes EP comes out on Forged Artifacts on November 22nd and you can pre-order the release here.
