Sonen

SONEN, the Atlanta, GA electro-pop duo made up of Keith Evans and Holly Mullinax, make music you wouldn’t expect to come from a city known for Hip Hop and Garage Rock. Yet ATL has a rich underground music and art scene that is both inspiring and exciting, and it’s in that creative incubator that SONEN came to be. The group’s deeply resonant bass lines, vintage tinged strings and harmonious male-female vocals come together to form a seductive, compelling sound that will consume listeners entirely and leave them sweaty and satisfied.

Following a 2010 EP release, SONEN shared the stage with artists such as Diplo, STRFKR, Flying Lotus, Dam Funk, and Casio Kids; developing a reputation for, as The Big Beat so astutely observed, “turning the kids into a sweaty mess.”

When the time came for SONEN to create their debut full length, Inside the Sun, Creative Loafing’s “Best Electronic Band of Atlanta” took a multifaceted approach to the project. The duo set out to capture the excitement of their live performances (in 2012, the duo added drummer Noel Goff to the lineup to bring another layer of energy to their live show,) and combine that rapturous energy with a more intimate, alluring tone; hoping to not only compel listeners to dance, but to move them to feel.

“Akin to Handsome Furs meets LCD Soundsystem meets Queens Of The Stone Age, their latest EP is an eight-song strong belter, running through sullen vocals and atmos- pheric synths, to murky basslines and three-dimensional beats that’ll get you dancing and taking shit easy from one song to the next.” - Indie Rock Café

“One thing is for sure, Atlanta, GA based Sonen will keep your bodies moving all night with their electronica dance grooves all while applying the fundamentals of Rock & Roll to their get-down-and-boogy dance-rock sound....” - Listen Before You Buy

“There’s a new wave revolution going on in Atlanta. This band, Sonen, along with a few others, are dragging it out into the light. “ - Boom Boom Chick

“The beats thump in your chest and the warbling electronics aim to move the hips as well as the head...Through constant motion and densely layered instrumentation, the songs on Inside the Sun are immediately engaging while also taking their time to reveal all the little nuances that you begin to hear after repeated spins.” - Beats Per Minute
