The dynamic rock debut from Simon Slon, “Sunny Day” is a hooky success that spans from gritty rock ‘n’ roll energy into a harmonious organ-laden central hook — then capped off by a psych-friendly serenity with dazed vocals. The “don’t let me,” rock-forward energy re-emerges seamlessly thereafter. Thereafter, the “pull me out of the water,” reggae-like inducement soars into a resonating ’80s guitar-rock nostalgia. Suffice to say, “Sunny Day” is abundant in hooky shifts and stylistic turns, representing a surefire success from Simon Slon, who is chronicling his journey as a 40-year-old consultant diving into a full-time msuic career.
