The Sun plays well-built, edgy rock music that isn't afraid to unfurl an irresistible hook or thrash with abandon. DID YOUR MOTHER TELL YOU?, the band's full-length debut on Warner Brothers, weaves different styles into an overall sound that is accessible and compelling. What impresses most about the Sun is their ability to move between different genres, including gutsy garage ("My Girlfriend's Best Friend"), quirky New Wave ("Justice"), and spooky acoustic folk ("Demons"). At times, in fact, the Sun covers multiple territories in one song, as on the title track, which builds from a taut opening with acoustic strumming to a thunderous indie-rock crescendo. At only seven songs, DID YOUR MOTHER KNOW? is in danger of seeming thin, but the songs are substantial enough to carry the album. "Valentine" builds a fuzzy web of distorted guitars over which vocals soar and a sing-song keyboard melody chimes, creating thick sonic textures. "Sandy" is happy, high-energy power pop that sparkles with a contemporary appeal despite its clear retro feel. These disparate directions work surprisingly well together, and make for a very strong first album from a band that seems to know what rock is really about.
