about

I had the pleasure of housing my friends in Pinegrove and Emperor X on my birthday this past year. They were coming from a show in Worcester that night. I had never met Chad of Emperor X before, but we really hit it off after I showed him the kind of music I was working on. He came back in April to play the WZBC spring concert upstairs of the Middle East in Cambridge and I had him stay over that night as well.

A week before I recorded myself improvising on my Jazz Kit with just two mics and chopped it up for him. I originally chopped em up just as three different song ideas. When I showed it to him it was in one file and he just went at it all as one. He must have recorded over 20 different layers of synths ideas over these three drum ideas. When he was done, We listened through and he just had me cut this and that out here and there. What was left was the majority of synths that you hear. It was one of the most surreal collaborating experiences I think I will ever have. Chad is truly a genius and master of his craft. It was a pleasure having the opportunity to make this with him.

When I was coming up with a title I felt like it sounded as if you're out in the sun. It felt like an epic synth, soundscape adventure. At first I was like this sounds like a sunbather, but I don't want to copy Deafheaven so I thought just "Sunbath" worked great. Funny enough "Sunbath" means getting high and I would highly recommend lighting up for this one ;)
