Sunny Black Day Ghosts Set Fire

The Black Ghosts / Sunny Day Sets Fire

Its a double release party for I AM SOUND! Both The Black Ghosts and Sunny Day Sets Fire enjoy in store releases today.

The Black Ghosts‘ Self Titled album is brilliant; I’ve been listening to it none stop since the promo magically showed up in my mailbox. 11 Tracks worth of the dance floor filling tracks you’ve come to expect, plus some blissful ballads on the lighter side to keep everything balanced.

I’d hope The Black Ghosts need no introduction, but if so, I’ll just let you face the music.

One of my favorite tracks from the album, “I Want Nothing” is a perfect blend or both dance-tastic basslines and lyrical bliss:

And then there’s the infamous “Any Way..” The original took everyone by storm, and the remixes upped the bar and rocked out about every dance night around the world. Even after hearing it out almost every week for months.. it still satisfies:

Sunny Day Sets Fire

Sunny Day Sets Fire

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:

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.
