The self-titled debut from the experimental pop trio Sonoi was released worldwide on the independent record label Meno Mosso on April 27, 2010. The album was engineered and produced by Michael Krassner (Blues Oblique, Boxhead Ensemble) at Clava in the band’s hometown of Chicago, IL.

At times floating out of the ether with the familiarity of forgotten Sunday mornings-while at others pounding out textured, thumping pop-the sound of Sonoi might be difficult to describe, but that’s precisely what makes it so appealing.

Adam Busch (guitars and vocals) and Ryan Hembrey (bass guitar and keyboards) are both veterans of the Chicago rock scene. Busch is best known for his group Manishevitz and their reformulation of English art-pop on such albums as City Life (2003) and East to East (2007). Hembrey, whose tenure in Manishevitz began in 2000, has also recorded and played with Edith Frost, Andrew Bird, and Smog. Relative newcomer Pierce Doerr, whose compositions have been featured on This American Life, rounds out the trio on drums.
