LOVE STORIES (EVERGREEN VINYL)

Catching up with Thee Sinseers ahead of their new Colemine Records
release, Love Stories, one thing becomes abundantly clear: this is not an LP
that explores a neat and tidy love story. It isn't interested in the happy ending.
It's interested in everything that comes before it, after it, and in spite of it.
On this LP, the band leaned into earthier instrumentation ' standup bass,
guitars run through amplifiers for a warmer sixties-adjacent tone ' pulling
inspiration from wherever it presented itself, even the most unlikely of places.
It's that cross-genre thinking that Quinones sees as the record's defining
quality. "It didn't feel like we were making soul music at any point," he says. "It
felt like we were making our music."
