This is the second album from the Australian-based duo Minor Gold (Australian Dan Parsons and Canadian Tracy McNeil), the pair originally bonding in McNeil’s band, Tracy McNeil & The Good Life, before setting out on their new venture. Their first self-recorded album was well received. For Way to the Sun, the pair travelled to California and recruited drummer Austin Beede and, more importantly, the talents of Dan Horne, who produced the album and played bass and pedal steel. Horne has a fine pedigree, with acts such as Beechwood Sparks, Cass McCombs, and Mapache under his belt, and he lifts the album some degrees higher than on their debut.
