Apparently, The Sundays stopped making music because Harriet Wheeler and David Gavurin wanted to focus on raising the kids they had together. Which I completely respect and admire. It’s very difficult to be a present parent while being a musician due to touring and long studio hours…
I’m not saying it’s impossible to be a professional musician AND be present in your children’s life. I’m just saying it’s very difficult. Many pro musicians miss a lot of time with their kids if they have any. Being a parent in of itself is very difficult. Being a musician is not a family friendly profession. Unless they somehow take their family on tours. So, the fact that Harriet and David gave up the limelight to spend time with their kids is commendable.
That said, assuming they had their kids around the time Static and Silence was released, 1997, their kids would now be in their mid to late 20’s. Those kids are grown adults now. They are done being raised. So could The Sundays please return to making music again? They are in my top 5 favorite bands of all time. I own all their albums on CD, plus a couple of singles, and Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic on vinyl.
I so wish that their kids would encourage them to return to making more music. They have been trending on Tiktok, and people are still buying their albums. I’m gonna buy Blind on vinyl that recently got a reissue from Interscope. Hopefully all this attention they’re still getting will inspire them to reunite. They are too good to not be sharing their new music.
I heard that they never stopped making music privately. But it may never be released. Which is a shame. I want to hear to new work so badly!😭
