Catching up with Thee Sinseers ahead of their new release, "Love Stories", one thing becomes abundantly clear: this is not an LP that explores a neat and tidy love story. It isn't interested in the happy ending. It's interested in everything that comes before it, after it, and in spite of it.
On this LP, the band leaned into earthier instrumentation - standup bass, guitars run through amplifiers for a warmer 1960s-adjacent tone - pulling inspiration from wherever it presented itself, even the most unlikely of places. It's that cross-genre thinking that bandleader Joey Quiñones sees as the record's defining quality. "It didn't feel like we were making soul music at any point", he says. "It felt like we were making our music". The band sought to capture something more honest than a highlight reel - showcasing the highs and lows of romantic relationships while expanding the frame to include the familial, the complicated, and the unresolved. Yet one thing remains constant throughout: Thee Sinseers' commitment to where they come from. That East LA identity doesn't announce itself - it simply exists, woven into the fabric of the music without being worn as a badge. There's no performance of heartbreak here, just the real thing!
