Product Code Database
Sons Of is a collaborative studio album by American musicians Sam Prekop and John McEntire. It was released on July 22, 2022, through Thrill Jockey. It received universal acclaim from critics.
The Soft Pink Truth's two remix versions of "A Yellow Robe" were later released as A Yellow Robe Remixes in 2023.
Fred Thomas of AllMusic commented that the album "finds them in a similar electronic mode as Prekop's more recent output, only pushing their slowly evolving instrumentals with house pulses and occasional disruptive squelches." He added, "Those expecting the organic post rock fusion of the bands McEntire and Prekop are best known for won't find it in the meditative lingering of Sons Of, but close listeners will hear the same airy melodic sensibilities and creative restlessness in these chilled-out synth tracks that are at the core of each player's best work with their respective bands." Philip Sherburne of Pitchfork stated, "Even as the music expands in length, it feels more immediately emotionally satisfying than any of Prekop's previous electronic music." He added, "Every track is awash in sumptuous, eminently hummable melodies; the album swells with a newfound sense of joy."
