After being out of contact for many years, original Scud Mountain Boys members Joe Pernice, Stephen Desaulniers and Bruce Tull returned to the scene in late 2011. Their latest offerinf features Joe Pernice's inimitable marriage of exquisitely graceful vocals and a resigned tone that the NME once described as 'the golden voice of damaged, regret oozing from every word like wounded honey...rendering glorious the utter inevitability of failure'. 'Do You Love the Sun' is the first new Scud Mountain Boys album since Sub Pop released the critically-acclaimed Massachusetts in 1996 and fulfills the promise of a full-fledged recorded comeback.
