Their Upcoming Release Desert Brain Out June 2nd Not Only Brings Sisters Of Your Sunshine Vapor’s Aesthetic To Life But It Brings To Fruition Years Of Planning The Ultimate Immersive Listening Experience. “I Think We Were A Bit Scared To Make It ” Says Oppitz. “It Took Us Much Longer Than A Typical Record Of A Collection Of Songs Would Have Taken Us. Not Only Did We Have To Write The Songs But We Had To Compose The Transitions Between Them And Then Think About How Each Song Fit Into The Overall Concept Of The Entire Record.” Shimmering Layers Of Sound Slide And Collide Across The 47-Minute Album Which Was Crafted To Be An End-To-End Experience That’s More A Shifting Moodscape Than Collection Of Individual Songs. The Band’s Commitment To Experimentation Is As Solid As Ever And Desert Brain Is A Testament To That Approach. Sisters Of Your Sunshine Vapor Ventured Away From Space Camp Studios In Search Of A Distraction-Free Environment And Found Themselves In A Cabin In Northern Michigan. Within The Wooden Walls Morrow Oppitz And Sawoscinski Tested Their Ideas On Vintage Gear Including A Newly Acquired Mellotron Recording All The Live Tracking For The Record On Tape. “We Do A Lot Of Experimenting Kind Of Need To Break An Idea Into A Million Pieces And Then Try And Put It Back Together ” Says Oppitz. “The Cabin Was Perfect For Environment For How We Work. It Was A Very Enjoyable Way To Make A Record.” There’s A Lot Of Inspiration Percolating Through Desert Brain Everything From The Surging Tension And Narrative Flow Of Rosemary’s Baby The Shining And Apocalypse Now To The Time Element Of Of Four Years Passing For The Band. “Lyrically And Musically We Really Tried To Tap Into The Chaos Celebration And Tragedy That Has Affected Us Over The Last Four Years ” Says Sawoscinski. “Since Spectra Spirit People In The Band Have Faced Marriage Eviction Success Breakups The Death Of A Good Friend To Addiction Career Changes And Displacement. Desert Brain Is Just Four Years Of Life.” While The Process Of Writing And Recording A Unified Album Like Desert Brain Was Challenging The Reward Is A Seamless Immersive Journey For The Listener. From The Opening Flanged Guitar Strains Of “Seventh Scene” To The Juggernaut Of Chugging Noise At The Center Of “What’s Your Cloud Nine 37” To The Building Waves Of Vocals Drums And Tension That Drive The Title Track Desert Brain Has Texture Hypnotizing Rhythm And A Sonic Landscape You Won’t Soon Forget. The Album In Keeping With Sisters Of Your Sunshine Vapor’s Tradition Of Covering All Aesthetic Bases Will Be Released On Clear And Splattered Blue Vinyl.
