Utah-based band The Sunmills impress with recent track “Not Going Home,” melding funky charisma and rock infectiousness. Drawing inspiration from Red Hot Chili Peppers, the band describes the release as exploring “themes of journey, longing, and loss,” — specifically asking “driven by the urge to pursue something shiny and new, will it lead to redemption or ruin?”
Melodic guitars and slappy bass reflect with cohesive enamoring to start, then moving into a cathartic vocal declaration: “Sail away to a new horizon, wind is blowing through your hair.” Lyrical reflections of seizing the day, and to live life, are stirring within the melodic rock arsenal — heady and introspective in the “how will you know…” contemplations. “Not Going Home” is a rollicking, catchy rock success from The Sunmills.
