Sunday (1994)

Sunday (1994)

1 Sept 2025 - 20 Nov 2025

Sunday (1994) is a story of love. A love that turns lonely long-haul flights into emotional dramas, and bad apartments into settings. A love that starts with a meet-cute and never ends. A love that was born out of music, bonded by music, and now explored in music. Sunday (1994) is a soundtrack. A collaboration 10 years in the making, Paige Turner and Lee Newell knew they would make music together the second their relationship started. Without ever needing to discuss the sound, style or direction it would take, theirs is the effortless artistry that comes from total trust and honesty. Both musicians saved their best work and tenderest lyrics for this moment, finally exhaling them in the catharsis of this new project. All coming to fruition and entering the world outside of their one-bed apartment like two characters walking onto the screen, Sunday (1994) are ready for their premiere. Along with their enigmatic, anonymous drummer, x, their sound is cinematic in the truest sense. Its music you can imagine characters running through airports to, racing after love. They're songs for bedroom floor tears or the first time two hands touch. It's a release that captures a love story, and every love story that has ever and will ever happen, in all of its sweet, daydreaming and dramatic beauty.
