In some mysterious way, "Furrowed Brow" by Drew Beskin & The Sunshine feels superbly freeing and life affirming despite emotional waves that throw up curious moments of doubt and hesitation. Like a lot of Drew Beskin's songs the charged sonics blending 80's power pop, 90's indie rock and folk / jangle pop underpinnings can feel happy and sort of sad at the same time, a mirrored reflection of life and it's struggles. The divergent instrumental interplay of "Furrowed Brow", jammy and progressive, falls away to slow dreamy post rock with psychedelia filtered in (and ambient sounds of birds tweeting and such). It is a lovely come down from the adrenaline and angst.
From the new album 'Somewhere Sideways Same As You' out via Super Canoe & WBAZ Records and as press notey stuff reveal:
[Beskin brings his nuanced approach to pop-rock songwriting from over a decade of releasing albums as a solo artist and frontman for The District Attorneys, Party Dolls and PURSES. When not working on his own projects, you may find him collaborating with many other artists/friends such as Tedo Stone, Cowboy Curtys, Elijah Johnston, Well Kept among others. His album with 'The Sunshine' is his follow up to 2021’s critically praised Problematic for the People.]

In the Fall of 2020, longtime Athen, GA songwriter and performer Drew Beskin was tracking his first song with his brand new band. Producer and guitarist Tommy Trautwein proclaimed that it sounded like…Sunshine. And it did — a break in the murky sadness of the pandemic, a tongue-in-cheek tribute to Beskin’s favorite band, Oasis, and their usage of that word inspired the group’s name Drew Beskin & The Sunshine.
The 11-song album that followed, Somewhere Sideways Same As You, was tracked in 11 days, albeit across several months. Known for the past few years as primarily a solo artist, Beskin warmed to the idea of a new band and, to this end, enlisted the aforementioned Trautwein along with brothers Elijah & Gideon Johnston.
“We went into the studio for a one off session to try out a new tune with no plans of doing much else,” Beskin says, “It was my first time recording with my friends who would become & The Sunshine. We tracked everything for the song in a day. The end result was so much fun and we just took it one song and day at a time until we realized we were making an album.”
