Colorado electronic jam band hybrid trio SunSquabi delivers their seventh album, their third live one, today, Friday, February 7th. SunSquabi Live 2019 provides a hand-selected array of recordings from the band’s live performances in 2019, ranging from large festival gigs to club-venue recordings. These recordings were carefully curated by the trio’s members to mimic that mind-bending, mystical experience of a SunSquabi live set.
SunSquabi’s live performances have been described as an ‘Electronic Hydro Funk Experience’. Hence, the cross-genre trio of Kevin Donohue (guitars/keys/production), Josh Fairman (bassist/synth), and Chris Anderson (drums). SunSquabi Live 2019 delivers a taste of that live experience.
This latest album contains fan favorites Night Moth and Tequila Mockingbird played live for the first time with Big Gigantic frontman Dom Lalli; their collab is a treat for SunSquabi and Big Gigantic fans alike. SunSquabi Live 2019 also showcases some of the band’s unreleased tracks like Hornet and Top Down, which are set to be released later this year.
SunSquabi Live 2019 offers something entirely different from the band’s 2018 release, SunSquabi Live at Red Rocks, and the 2017 release, SunSquabi Live in Boulder. While these albums were recordings from a single set, SunSquabi Live 2019 is intentionally curated and far more encompassing of the group’s range. Essentially, this album can be considered the paramount SunSquabi live experience.
As this album is comprised entirely of cherry-picked live recordings, it truly showcases SunSquabi’s versatility as a group. Live performances oftentimes capture what the studio cannot, precisely what SunSquabi Live 2019 has to offer.
