Emerging in the early 2010s as an Australian answer to Mumford & Sons and The Lumineers, Sydney trio Sons Of The East similarly refresh familiar strains of folk and Americana for a modern audience. Early tracks such as 2013’s “California” and “Hold On” prioritized the rustic harmonies and sprightly twang coaxed out jointly by Jack Rollins, Dan Wallage, and Nic Johnston without any whiffs of pretension or overproduction. Rollins’ winningly creaky lead vocal takes increasing prominence on 2015’s “My Repair,” while 2019’s “It Must Be Luck” showcases those warm, close harmonies all over again. And it’s not just guitar, banjo, and mandolin at work here: expect supple piano and strings too. The layered 2020 single “You Might Think” combines wheezing harmonica with smooth soft-rock gestures, while 2022’s like-minded “What I Do” ratchets up the dreamy romance. And on 2024’s “Torn,” Sons Of The East transform Natalie Imbruglia’s signature hit into a quiet rumination perfectly poised for a campfire sing-along.
