about

“Playing to her signature strengths, Sunny Moon displays disarmingly simple folky melodies, some beautifully drawn relationship songs and, best of all, McKee's voice. Like The Velvet Underground's Mo Tucker, her singing has a grounded honesty that elevates this music and subtly gives great weight to its domestic dramas.”
- 4/5 Q Magazine, May 2006

“With Sunny Moon McKee keeps the buzzing guitars in check, swerving sideways to include churchy, mumbled folk songs. Sleepy-eyed and blurry 'Drink In The Sun' and 'Wasted' dissolve into the air, equal parts Big Star Third and Heidi Berry possessed of a strange moon-shadow glow. Winding string arrangements and thick waves of nebulous distortion only amplify the temporal lag evoked by Sunny Moon, making you long for more once the music stops. For now though, Sunny Moon is gorgeousness incarnate.”
- Plan B Magazine, June 2006
