Suneaters Give Us A Glimpse Of Their Upcoming Double LP
A recent single release from Suneaters showcases how the band is unafraid to deliver a bit of experimental rock that blends effortlessly into a pop rock sound, all while still keeping their psychedelic roots intact, with tripped out guitars and echo riddled vocals, building white a colorful soundscape.
"Home" is why do unique single because of delivers a particular kind of aesthetic. The tones of the guitars are both drifting but also slightly fuzz tone at the same time, beginning to show some of the many influences that come into play with a song like this one and likely with a band like this one as well.
I wouldn't lump this song into one particular genre, but rather let it Thrive the way it's meant to. This is definitely experimental, but it's also catchy, it's got flavor, it's definitely not without its pop-sensibility, but it also branches out and kind of blends in tones and approaches that make it more fun.
It is certainly a bit outside the box, but in the best ways.
First of all, we have this amazing drummer that is definitely doing a bit of a unique time signature but the rest of the band really feeds off of that perfectly.
Along with the sonically bright guitar tones, there is a bass guitar tone that really pushes the envelope and adds not just a low end, but a bit of extra liveliness and melody to the underbelly of the track as well.
The bass goes for walks here and there but they are tasteful ones that really compliment with the guitars are doing.
Vocals are really animated. They're not exactly theatrical, per se, but they are drenched in all kinds of fun effects that make them sound watery, wavy, and it adds a strange kind of depth to the aesthetic of everything.
Certain parts of the track have totally clean vocals, and it's those parts you can really hear all the lyrics nice and clear because they're more upfront. I do love that experimental and again, psychedelic vocal approach due to all those facts, simply because it displays how the band wants to put something out there that feels like its own thing.
This track isn't exactly following suit. It's not over the top either. The experimental element of the track is always there, in different ways, but it's also done in moderation.
One of my favorite parts about this track is this little bridge kind of section that comes in later in the track. This part features the guitar chords being played and another guitar on top of that with an octavizer pedal playing super high pitch notes that line up and match, giving those progressions and chords more lusciousness and color.
Now, a lot of people would simply call this indie rock. For me, it is more Progressive than just plain old indie rock. They are unique in their performances and songwriting especially.
By utilizing really cool effects on their instruments and vocals, there's attributes to the song that feel inventive, slightly whimsical, a bit light-hearted, and they all come with a great sonic frequency that sticks with you.
This single is a glimpse at a bigger release coming very soon.
As far as we know, this is a double LP set to drop this June.
I definitely look forward to this one because I know there's going to be loads of fun tracks on it with different kinds of experimentation and brilliant arrangement and percussion.
This track will keep me at bay until then, but I would definitely keep a lookout for the full LP in about a month.
For now, turn this one up and while you're at it, check out the music video for the single because it also showcases more of that psychedelic element thriving through in visual sense.
