Exclusive premiere of ‘Triangulum’, an EP by Sunrise and Ammunition, out via Geodesic Records.

Sunrise and Ammunition have many elements floating around their primordial soup in a young world of sound. It is a sound that has lineage tracing back to progressive, experimental, and psychedelic music of all kinds. With no rigid boundaries it’s a collective of porous minds, absorbing an eclectic sound pallet made accessible to kids of the internet age. The band formed just after its members finished intermediate school, and over the years they have developed a musical chemistry that borders on telepathy. Sunrise and Ammunition released their first EP, ‘Aquarius’, in 2010 and have focused on creating immersive sounds ever since, including their album, Tesseract, produced by Jesse Cannon at Found Soundation. The combination of these three childhood friends’ creativity creates a whole larger than the sum of its parts.

Sunrise and Ammunition are releasing their 2nd EP, ‘Triangulum’, named after the constellation of the same name. When the members of the band met, they all lived relatively close together, but if you look at a map, the points that they houses lie in relation to each other resemble that of the ‘Triangulum’ constellation. “We think this is appropriate for our band because it seems like cosmic destiny that we would all live so close together, and we often imagine our music in cosmic terms, radiating out deep into space when we play,” they reveal.

Triangulum opens with ‘Movers’, a psychedelic rock song about feeling like your surroundings are not where you belong, but still having a love for this place you call home. They use a mix of processed sounds to open and the basics, like guitar, bass, and drums. The melody is both unexpected and catchy. It doesn’t lay out in the way your brain expects, but it’s still infectious and gets you moving in your seat. The second song, ‘Luca’, is more rock based, with a deliberately played guitar throughout. ‘Luca’ has more of a punk rock sound and they play around with tempo. It’s not as consistent as a classic song, but works in their favor.

‘Vulcan Dome’ is the heaviest song, with hints of metal or hard rock influence. They utilize electronic sounds, employing a sort of sci-fi sound to open the song. The last song, ‘Mt. Fuji’, has a Pink Floyd vibe to it. It’s about something or someone being just out of reach, not quite being able to grasp what you want.

Sunrise and Ammunition shares, “We like to explore sounds and moods, so people may connect to each song in a different way or they may like one that resonates with them most. We see writing songs as building worlds with their own unique mood and archi-texture!”
