Closer to the Sun is the 2005 studio album from Slightly Stoopid, the Ocean Beach, San Diego crew who first got signed as high schoolers by Sublime's Bradley Nowell to his Skunk Records. It arrived on the heels of the live set Acoustic Roots: Live & Direct, and it leans hard into reggae, with the band's grab bag of folk, rock, blues, hip-hop and punk swirling around a laid-back, sun-baked groove.
This is backyard-barbecue music with a smirk, loose enough to feel like a jam and tight enough to stick. "Somebody" was the song that carried it onto the countdowns, and the band followed it with Chronchitis.
