Suicide By Sun

Ambient/experimental. A quiet, dreamlike album which avoids dissonance in favor of an endless cascade of peaceful sound. Very relaxing, if not particularly stimulating. Fuguelike, repetitive. From the album description: “Accrued across countless home studio sessions, slowly sequenced into four sides of narcotic reverberation, reflective loops, and dream-soaked delay. Guitar gestures refract into twilit horizons; hymnal drones swell and shimmer; smeared notes sway like lullabies of quiet communion.”

The tracks are pretty samey, but try 6, 10, 11, 14.

1) “Sunset Wake” (3:16): A churning sea of ambient sound, with occasional notes stretching up out of the depths.
2) “Not Dreaming” (2:28): Similar to the first, but mellower and dreamlike.
3) “Frost Nod” (1:45): Much quieter and more acoustic. Light guitar.
4) “Deep in Black Night” (5:04): A faint melody skips along on top of an echo chamber.
5) “No Forgiveness For Grey Eyes” (2:22): Peaceful, relaxing, dense.
6) “Death to the Fictitious Light Cycle” (5:10): A bit more cinematic--melody in the background with bells tapping on top. Slow.
7) “The Dive” (0:43): Quavering notes. Tense.
8) “Led Away” (7:21): Pairs of notes oscillating on top of gently shimmering landscape.
9) “Evil” (3:27): Mellower, quieter. Deep notes pressing against each other.
10) “Waiting” (2:31): Very pretty and melancholic. Wish that it were longer.
11) “Pretty Rare Nowhere” (1:53): Quite emotional and troubled. Pretty.
12) “Goodbye Sinister Clouds” (3:17): Deep peaceful notes.
13) “Wave Scam” (2:01): Breathless drone.
14) “Hope in Color” (4:07): Melody slowly climbs a scale over and over. Feels kind of majestic.
15) “Lazy Girl Loop” (2:17): Quiet. Just some echoey notes on a guitar.
16) “Metric Disguise” (5:12): A bit more dissonant and rumbly.
17) “Sad Clock” (3:44): Gently oscillating and peaceful.
18) “Bitter Sensed” (2:53): Restrained. Some strings plucking on top of light drone. Extremely quiet last 20 sec.
19) “Slow Fade” (3:08): Wistful guitar picking on top of echoey background.
20) “Autumn Trills” (4:10): Rolling field of gentle sound.
21) “Backspacing” (3:04): A bit grittier with a throbbing synth background.
22) “Marching Into the Blinding Sun” (2:46): Another simple melody looping against itself.
