Born in the summer of 2009, Sunfields are Love, loss and Americana, creating a comfort zone with country trimmings in psychedelic undertones. They spent their early years rummaging through their parents old record collection absorbing all the sounds an songs they could. After years of listening, writing and recording, they came up with 'Palace In The Sun'. Recording for their debut album, began in a small cottage some sixty miles north of London England in the winter of 2008 and was completed in the Spring of 2010 in their Montreal home studio. Songs lean heavily on imagery, with disarming melodies and moody instrumentation.

Featuring guest appearances by Sam Goldberg (Broken Social Scene), Evan Cranley (Stars), Murray Lightburn (The Dears), James Watkins (Chew Lips), Angela Desveaux...
