sundayclub
Filtering in with shimmering static, Winnipeg outfit sundayclub’s self-titled debut demands you tune in. Described by the band as “dreamy, gut-punch pop,” SUNDAYCLUB explores the strange limbo of early adulthood: that feeling of being caught between who you were and who you’re becoming. Like sunlight softly glimmering through a window, ink slowly bleeding across a page, or a grainy film photograph blurring hard edges, the album’s layered, textured soundscapes evoke a romantic feeling of nostalgia and ephemeralness. On their first full-length offering, sundayclub arrive poised and self-assured as they weave together a glowing world that blurs the line between past and present.
Formed in the stillness of rural Canada, Courtney Carmichael and Nikki St. Pierre started sundayclub as a way of processing and capturing the curiosities and complexities of coming into one’s own. The result is a deeply personal collection that guides listeners through a tour of growing up, growing apart, and growing into your skin. SUNDAYCLUB overflows with sensitivity and vulnerability; enveloping, cinematic swells of
guitar and reverb blend with Carmichael’s ghostly vocals to create something imperfect, intimate, and vivid. The intuitive and symbiotic musical relationship between St. Pierre and Carmichael lends the music its magic. The band’s chemistry caught the attention of Stephen Carroll, the guitarist of Canadian indie-rock legends The Weakerthans, who tipped off Paper Bag Records’ A&R, and quickly led to their first label signing. They soon after released their debut EP Bannatyne in 2025, which landed them on Exclaim!’s 5 Emerging Canadian Artists You Need to Hear.
SUNDAYCLUB arrives on the heels of this release, created over a four-year-long process that began in the basement bedroom of Carmichael’s family home. For sundayclub, the pandemic-era experience of exploring themselves creatively can only be described in antonyms: painstakingly precise yet unrestrained, laborious yet effortless, and at times, disquieting yet immensely fulfilling. “It was extremely fulfilling but also all-consuming and emotionally taxing. While we had the time to experiment and refine things, we also had the time—and maybe too much of it—to overthink, torment, and second-guess ourselves,” Carmichael notes. “But what we’ve come out with, we’re very proud of,” St. Pierre resolves.
