Today, Sons of Sevilla — the musical partnership of brothers Henry and Reuben Vaun Smith who make sophisticated and sun-dappled garage soul — share a new track, “She Could Be Anywhere” from their upcoming album It Could Be Today, out October 2 via Ubiquity Records. Listen to “She Could Be Anywhere” here and preorder the It Could Be Today album 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.
“She Could Be Anywhere” is softly-spun with sustained strings, chiming melodic motifs, and glistening guitars, all informed by classic blue-eyed soul songs of the late 1970s. Its loosed-limbed, vividly realized delights offer another essential snapshot of the new record.
Recent single and title track “It Could Be Today” brims with a sort of summery positivity, a true smile-inducing treat with sinewy strings wrapping around a glowing groove. A song of love, support, and gentle inspiration, it was partially inspired by the pair’s adventures touring America with their live band and fittingly conceived in California. It’s the musical equivalent of a much-needed hug. Listen to “It Could Be Today” here.
The first single, “Drive By Honey,” saw Reuben Vaun Smith’s sweet, eyes-closed vocals rise above a languid, lolloping jam, 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.” Listen to “Drive By Honey” here.
Earlier this year, the duo shared 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.
