Due to moving, incorrect addresses, and just general laziness on my part (because we’re being honest here) this comes to you as much delayed. However that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t listen!
Sunny Day Sets Fire, on their own, is this catchy, almost haunting 60s-ish, psy-rock, getting-high-on-a-beach, pop-rock band hailing from just about every place in the known universe. Influences vary based on who’s writing about them, but personally I hear a lot of the old Tripping Daisy in there mashed up with something kinda sounding like the Beatles, only not really, yet still reminds me of them (How’s that for being indecisive?). They had their first remix EP drop last month, and it reworked the original hazy rock tunes into some 6-headed monster made to lurk around in the darkest recess of the dance floor.
To start, here’s the headlining single “Stranger” to help give a feel for their sound:
Sunny Day Sets Fire - “Stranger”
Heavy-hitters CSS come up first with a remix of “Wilderness”; adding a solid electro baseline to otherwise ethereal vocals, it ends up as one of those tracks that’s perfect for headphones and jamming to while at work… not that I’m doing that now or anything.

And, my personal favorite on the EP: Baron Von Luxxury’s remix of “Brainless”. This one is total dance floor material (shocking, I know) and is the most heavy hitting remix on the EP. A nice tennis-ball bass line combined with some dirty riffs and chopped vocals.. its-a nice.

I’m gonna try my best not to be so secluded from the world until I can fully get moved. Wish me luck!
