This offering by Subdivision records introduces us to the band Sungrazzer with a much welcomed e.p. and not just a single track. Classifying these guys would be hard… ambient guitar fuzz punctuated by sounds from outer space that ebb and flow in a way that somehow really works, and works well. Definitely a unique sound and a method to the madness that is going on, I can only imagine that these guys are loud live. Track one is Elephants and where you primarily get the mix of all the sounds fuzzy and other worldly. Track 2, Black Bunny Haven slows it down a bit but adds stabs of feedback in with the ambient mood of heaviness. There are plenty of unidentifiable sounds going on in here, but they really gel well to make the listener question what is coming next on the trip. Track 3 is Daybreak, and at the midpoint here it slows it down and incorporates a full droning ambience punctuated by soft sounds of waking up from a dream. Plummelo is the next to last track and continues as a quiet but emotionally very heavy sound that sustains the entire track and leads perfectly into the last song, Kings, which returns to the fuzzy, punchy distortion that ends the disc and really feels like having been taken on a journey through someone else’s dreams. Beautiful and challenging.
