Sons of Sevilla announce new album 'It Could Be Today'

SONS OF SEVILLA ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM IT COULD BE TODAY OUT OCTOBER 2 VIA UBIQUITY RECORDS SOPHISTICATED & SUN-DAPPLED GARAGE SOUL THAT'S AS ECLECTIC AS IT IS TIMELESS

Today, Sons of Sevilla — the musical partnership of brothers Henry and Reuben Vaun Smith who make sophisticated and sun-dappled garage soul — announce the new album It Could Be Today, out October 2 via Ubiquity Records. They also share today the album’s opening track, “Drive By Honey.” Listen to “Drive By Honey” here and preorder It Could Be Today here. On It Could Be Today, Sons of Sevilla expand their sun-soaked signature sound while emphasizing the timeless warmth and color that has long been inherent in their joint productions. Produced by Skinshape, the album calls to mind Sweet ’17 era Twin Peaks (but replace Lake Michigan with the Mediterranean Sea), and has all the dreamy psych-pop meets breezy soft-rock of Drugdealer. “Drive By Honey” sees Reuben Vaun Smith’s sweet, eyes-closed vocals rise above a languid, lolloping groove, effects-laden slide guitar, simmering strings, and mellow keys. The aural equivalent of heat haze rising from the California Pacific Coast Highway, it’s a sublime song to — as Reuben sings — “start the story.” The duo recently shared the double single “Forever Heaven” / “Changing,” which was recorded with producer Max Shrager (The Shacks, Say She She). Both tracks are musically rich, sonically vivid, terrifically tactile, and as emotionally stirring as they are infectious, with the former reaching #3 on KCRW’s Top 30 chart and both receiving support from BBC Radio 6 and more. Listen to “Forever Heaven” / “Changing” here. Born via an impromptu brotherly recording session in their original home of Featherstone, West Yorkshire — a former coal-mining village in the North of England — and named in honor of a city they visited many times on family holidays in their youth, Sons of Sevilla have received plenty of plaudits since making their debut on Ubiquity Records in early 2024, a label that has also championed Reuben Vaun Smith’s similarly acclaimed solo work. To date, they have released two fine full-length excursions, 2024’s Lullabies For a Wildcat and last year’s speedy sequel, Street Light Moon (produced by Black Pumas' Adrian Quesada), and extensively toured the UK, Europe, and United States with their expanded band line-up. With It Could Be Today, Sons of Sevilla are at their most musically assured, setting 2026 up to be a big year for the brothers.   It Could Be Today is out October 2, preorder it here.
