Sunday Munich combine the best components of Trip-Hop, Classical, Drum'N'Bass,
and Noise genres with a reflective female vocalist. Although the
Portishead resemblances are obvious, "Pneuma" does its best to move beyond
this comparison. Cello and electronic piano serve as excellent instruments to
stride into new musical territory. The thick drum programming, with emphasis
on dub, and compressed electronic programming work as well. The vocalist Sarah
Hubbard has an effective technique that utilizes an odd vocoding scheme,
shifting back and forth between muffled and clear voice. At many places in songs
like 'Smallest Tragedy', she uses this technological feature to exquisite
effectiveness. Even though the album artwork
suggests a dark nature to "Pneuma". Sunday Munich is certainly not a Goth band.
Instead they are a two piece, vocally strong act, not afraid to use both time
tested instrumentation and cutting edge technology in their music.
