Kenny Florence may not yet be of legal age to buy beer, but he has a clear musical vision that he portrays in his musical project Sunfold.

‘Toy Tugboats’ is the culmination of years of musical exploration and experience, resulting in a diverse blend of jazz, folk, pop, and rock.

Sharing the same members as North Carolina’s Annuals, and being the fifth release on the collective’s Terpsikhore label, Sunfold utilize a collective approach to achieve an impressive level of comfort within each realm it chooses to invade.

While Annuals is praised for frontman Adam Baker’s uncanny pop sensibility combined with his boundless sonic ambition, Florence’s approach through Sunfold is more of a controlled and formulaic thought process, deliberately applied to different musical styles.
