Monday 23 - Sunfall Festival, The City Weekly
4/12/01

Much ado has been made over Sunfall Festival's $250,000 record deal scored over the Internet with Garageband.com, but their third indie, Monday 23, was in the works well before that happy accident. The bubbly song that sealed the deal, "I Walked Away," is included along with 12 other tracks produced and penned so perfectly there's no doubt this is a major-label band - Provo zip code or no.

Singer Amy Greetham's airy vocals soothe and seduce like liquid sunshine. But the real star here is Scott Wiley's shimmering army of guitars, washing each track in progressively distinct colors and shades, juiced occasionally by keys and strings.

Whatever big-name producer Garageband attaches to Sunfall Festival's label debut is going to be hard-pressed to top what they've laid down here on their own.
