Columbus-based reggae-rock risers The Quasi Kings are closing out 2025 on a sentimental high note with their new single “Sunday Morning Cartoons,” a breezy, reflective track that leans into memory, melody, and the soft glow of growing up.
Out now on Spotify and all major platforms, “Sunday Morning Cartoons” hits that sweet spot between Americana warmth and island-inspired ease. Built on a mellow groove and a hook that lodges instantly in your head, the song feels like flipping through old photo albums — all golden summers, sleepy mornings, and the small moments that end up shaping who you become.
According to the band, the track was born from that exact feeling:
“We wrote this song as a tribute to those lazy, dreamy mornings — when the world felt endless and anything seemed possible. It’s about remembering where you came from — and carrying that feeling forward.”
For The Quasi Kings, it marks a subtle but meaningful shift. Their sound — already rooted in reggae-rock uplift and Midwest soul — continues to mature, trading party-starting energy for something more intimate and emotionally resonant. The result is one of their most personal releases to date.
The new single caps a huge year for the band: festival slots, sold-out regional dates, and an upcoming hometown New Year’s Eve blowout at Columbus’ Newport Music Hall alongside Tropidelic and Shrub. With momentum at their backs and a widening national audience, “Sunday Morning Cartoons” feels like a glimpse of where The Quasi Kings are headed next — thoughtful, tuneful, and unafraid of heart.
