First there was The Mythology of Empathy, a humble debut by the Sunsetters demonstrating musical prowess.
Next there was Summer Sucks, a grand symphony promising to bring the whole stage down.
Then there was We Excavate, a wandering reflection.
And then... came tragedy. Rhythm guitarist Remy Larson passed, leaving one last collection of pieces which his bandmates published in tribute. That was Ancestor. That was the point where the trajectory of the Sunsetters changed.
Coestts guitarist Sally Death contacted the band and agreed to join with them just in time for their contract with their record company to see renewal. They had more albums to do. And BMB Records have arranged some time in a new recording studio none of the members have ever heard of before...
Such is the premise for the work of great grief and stress.
Eight songs in nine tracks, introducing us to midi rock, introducing us to Fear songs, introducing us to Jordan and Lindsay as composers. (This album was primarily Lindsay's compositions, Jordan's editing; later albums will divide composition more evenly.)
We've already talked some about the making of this album and compiled it into a Commentary Booklet, which comes with the album download. But in the interest of fleshing out this page, I'll include the text here too, in a box.
