“Spanning most of this decade, the ascent of these Orlando garage-soul saviors has been long and winding. But with the spring release of this sweltering opus, it seems their career has finally achieved a certified breakthrough. A model of strut, gut and soul, the album – by far their most crystallized and whopping work yet – has drawn tons of glowing press and even garnered a “Coolest Song in the World” shout on Little Steven’s Underground Garage. It’s been a welcome national splash that’s validated something we’ve known around here for years: The Sh-Booms are ready for the world.”- Orlando Weekly

‘Sans Soleil’ is the second installment in Ceschi’s powerful and final three-album trilogy.
