hough the Green Pajamas played their last live show in 2018, it is now 2021 and Jeff Kelly thought it was about time for a new Green Pajamas album. The first new release since, Phantom Lake: Northern Gothic 3 (2018), Sunlight Might Weigh Even More is a true return to the PJ’s psychedelic roots, Kelly’s template this time being 1997’s, Strung Behind the Sun, perhaps the band’s most popular release. “I wanted to go completely back to the whimsical sound of Strung for this one, so it’s quite different from the last one!” As was the case with Strung, Jeff wrote and recorded the majority of this new album alone. That said, there are two new Eric Lichter songs as well as the first new Green Pajamas song penned by Joe Ross since 2011. Sunlight Might Weigh Even More is full of the PJ’s trademark psych-pop melodies, exotic instruments, harmonies and ringing electric guitars and is set to become a new essential album in the Green Pajamas discography.
