Too Many Suns

In 2018 Hugo Hugon (voice/guitar) called João Cardoso (Drums), and he said yes: shortly after Too Many Suns were born. The seed was planted in a diy-studio in the heart of Lisbon, where they created the five songs of their first EP: “Garden”, produced with Gonçalo Formiga from Cave Story.

Already with Vasco Rato (bass), the band’s first LP was recorded and produced by Miguel Vilhena at Pontiaq Records, and released in October 2020 in digital and K7 formats. The year of 2021 brought a new EP: Quiet. Recorded and produced by André Isidro at DuckTape Melodies, it explores different sound landscapes, rambling through internal voyages that the quietness of that year has allowed.

With Simão Reis (guitar and keys) new sound horizons open and culminate in the second Too Many Suns EP: Reverie.
Pop takes the central role in Reverie, but its inherent simplicity did not stop the band from approaching it with more maturity, growing while exploring different sonic landscapes. Examples of this are the different partnerships with the feminine vocals of Surma , Beatriz Nunes and So, as well as the Nepalese flute from Sunil Pariyar.

With the album comes also a new single featuring Surma and accompanied by a videoclip: ‘1974’ talks about two lovers that live the Portuguese revolution in 1974 (that ended a 50 year old dictatorship), e start to envision everything that may change in their future. A necessary allegory in times of intolerance and uncertain future, but also of hope.
