The Untitled Interview #168 – SXSW Edition: Starring Ian Taylor (The Sunshine Factory)
When it comes to shoegaze, Alabama was never really the first place I thought about. After hearing The Sunshine Factory, however, yours truly is having to reconsider. If there had been a band this good, this loud, and this drenched in sonic goodness, I would have driven down and back to Mobile in a heartbeat when I was in school. Better late than never though, I suppose. And I sure do hope to see The Sunshine Factory live one of these days, because I get the idea they'd be mighty fine. They've got a real lushness to their sound, like honey coating a sonic sledgehammer. Read on for guitar/vocal type Ian Taylor's musings on the joy of festivals, and the joy of arriving to festivals in one piece.
