The Sundays, “Static & Silence,” DGC * * 1/2
A five-year hiatus has matured, smoothed and enriched Harriet Wheeler’s attractive voice as she abandons her trademark skips and leaps. Otherwise, she and partner David Gavurin stick to the English group’s adult alternative formula of pretty tunes and mildly yearning lyrics, though Gavurin’s guitar groove on “Another Flavour” and some flute solos on “Your Eyes” add some sonic dimension.
