Thee Sinseers: Love Stories Tour with Taylor Williams

Fronted by bandleader and son of East Los Angeles Joey Quiñones, Thee Sinseers have quietly chipped away at the sounds of R&B and soul since forming in 2019, bringing together their interpretation of music through an unmistakable modern lens. On their new Colemine Records release, 'Love Stories', one thing becomes abundantly clear: this is not an LP that explores a neat and tidy love story. It's interested in everything that comes before it, after it, and in spite of it. The band leaned into earthier instrumentation — standup bass, guitars run through amplifiers for a warmer sixties-adjacent tone. It's that cross-genre thinking that Quiñones sees as the record's defining quality. The band sought to capture the highs and lows of romantic relationships while expanding the frame to include the familial, the complicated, and the unresolved.  Like an unsent love letter finally delivered, 'Love Stories' carries the weight of everything that was felt but never quite said.
