Artist: (ghost)
Album: Effloresce
Format: Vinyl/Digital
Catalog Number: SSS117
Release Date: 02/17/2023

Brian Froh’s alias (ghost) began as a way to write music in the comfort of his own home. After many years of playing in bands, as a DJ, and other musical ensembles he sat down with a laptop, a copy of Logic, and a small two-octave keyboard to create. In 2013 we saw this come to fruition with the album 'Departure'; a combination of acoustic elements he was familiar with, combined with a familiar 00’s era IDM sound. Shortly after Brian moved to Denver, CO to pursue music and meet other like-minded musicians. It wasn’t long before these new ideas culminated into the album 'A Vast and Decaying Appearance' and the likely titled 'Elas' EP. The following release 'Everything We Touch Turns To Dust' was much darker, and closely shadowed the struggles that existed in Brian’s life at the time. For the time being, (ghost) was almost nonexistent. Aside from remixes and compilation tracks the artist stayed dormant, not appearing on any social media or playing any live events. 

After what has been almost a five year hiatus, (ghost) returns with his new album ‘Effloresce'. Inspired by the passing of his friend, this album is the beginning of a new chapter. (ghost) takes everything he has worked on for the past ten years and refines it to create his own signature sound on this record. Expect to hear familiar synth tones, subtle guitar, and crushing drums set to a somber yet somewhat hopeful timbre. As the album title suggests this is just the beginning of a much lighter hearted and beautiful journey that (ghost) will soon take us on. 'Effloresce' is out February 17th on limited edition baby pink vinyl.

Artist: Gunnar Spardel
Album: The Fade To Afterlife
Format: Vinyl/CD/Digital
Catalog Number: SSS120
Release Date: 04/28/2023

Born in Germany and now based in the United States, Gunnar Spardel is primarily known for his work as Tigerforest, a chill electronica project that leans towards an upbeat soundscape. However, after the turbulence of recent events Spardel wanted to write under his own name for intimate and personal expression and to understand the new world around him. ‘The Fade To Afterlife’ follows his stunning 2020 release ‘Simplicity in a Complex World,’ which won the Schallwelle Award for Best Artist in Germany.

“‘The Fade To Afterlife’ tells the story of a person facing his final stages of life,” explains Spardel. “Each song tells a story about facing a journey’s end and the uncertainty of what will happen once we pass away.” The songs, which were written on the piano and synthesizers, tell stories of life, loss and love. Gunnar Spardel created the arrangements on his computer, before working with session musicians to cement the ideas and breathe organic life into the pieces. As the album was written during the pandemic, and the musicians could not work together in the studio, they recorded their parts separately. Nonetheless, the album still holds the essence of community, and emotion is felt in every note.

‘The Fade to Afterlife’ is a journey. Reflective, thought-provoking and inspirational, Gunnar Spardel has captured what it means to be alive. The album is scheduled for release on SUNSEASKY in Spring 2023.

The String & Return is a 4-piece indie rock outfit from Kansas City, Missouri, originally emerging in 1999 to play their first shows and record their first album, ‘INVISIBLE CITY’, released on SUNSEASKY in early 2001. The band followed up in 2005 with ‘WHAT CHEER’ on Anodyne Records before entering an extended hiatus during which members recorded and performed in projects such as In The Pines and the Caves. Occasionally reuniting to play shows throughout successive years, the band released an EP of odds and ends called ‘LOST SONGS’ in 2015 until eventually reaffirming full-time status by touring with slowcore legends Idaho in Summer 2021 and recording new songs. Enduring with a sound recently described as “slowly evolving, heartbreakingly beautiful, and explosively punctuated,” Placidyls marks The String & Return's first studio album in 18 years.

Album: Internecine

Catalog Number: SSS094
Release Date: 11/06/2018

Label debut from London-based Spinger.

Artist: Bluetech
Album: The Four Horsemen Of The Electrocalypse
Format: Limited Edition Double CD/Digital
Catalog Number: SSS104
Release Date: 02/22/2019

Sun Sea Sky Productions has teamed up with the Bluetech to compile all four of the artist’s “Four Horsemen of the Electrocalypse” series EPs into a Limited Edition Double CD set featuring stunning eight-panel digipak artwork from Totemical that appeared on the EPs, as well as new artwork for cover and inside panels. All orders ship with an 11"x17" poster and 1" button while supplies last! 

These four EPs reference the Biblical bringers of the Apocalypse. Drawing inspiration from the classic fantasy art of Moebius, Beksinki and Syd Mead, “The Pale Horse” dances around eschatological tropes with tongue firmly placed in cheek. Featuring gorgeous artwork from concept designer Justin Totemical, each release in the series presents a facet of the visionary prophetic current.

“Emerging from a long period of creative drought and personal struggle, I was seeking a way to frame my own experience in a larger meta-narrative. Navigating through loss and painful transformation always feels apocalyptic, so I wanted to take the opportunity to not only frame my heartbreak in a larger context but also to really laugh at myself and experience the high drama of being human with a sense of humor. The Revelations of our little lives feel like the end of everything, and looking out of our windows of meat and bone we feel the ground rumble with the approach of the 4 Horsemen.

On a larger scale, it’s easy to draw parallels between the realities of modern life and the harbingers of ‘the end’ in John’s symbolic vision of the end of the Roman Empire. We are in the grasp of a dying empire watching the destruction of our biosphere, and yet… every seed must go to ground before new life emerges.

This series of releases is about watching it all burn with a smile, embracing the death of the self as an act of beauty in order to grow. By aligning my own story and our collective story with a prophetic vision of epic proportions, I was able to to regain my joy and (en)lighten my life.”

Artist: Blochemy
Album: Rea
Format: CD/Digital
Catalog Number: SSS102
Release Date: 06/11/2019

Through its crystalline labyrinth of granular synths and tape saturation treatments, Blochemy's "Rea" sheds the artist's former Tri Repetae-era Autechre and Atol Scrap-era Arovane influences, instead trading these in for more panoramic electro ambient forward material.

"Rea," while retaining a stark desolate beauty all its own, undeniably channels Campfire Headphase-era BOC ambient pieces, Near The Parenthesis' work, along with Arovane's (and Kleine's) masterpiece "Tides."  Underpinning the album are sci-fi thematics of once hostile planets now terraformed into more habitable atmospheres and environments.

Rounding out the package are four remixes from hallmark ambient and electronic acts Halftribe, (ghost) + Yuánfèn Dream, SineRider, and Stray Theories.

Artist: Charm Days
Album: A Firefly Out Of Season
Format: Digital
Catalog Number: SSS109
Release Date: 04/07/2020

In 2015, film and television composer Doug Kaufman started creating lush experimental downtempo under the name Charm Days. While a lot of the genre was being built around simple looped repetition, Kaufman’s soundscapes have always been complex and constantly-evolving, with arrangements that avoid cookie cutter predictability.

His debut as Charm Days, Winter Dogs, was a product of raw experimentation - full of processed samples and layered with analog synthesis. With his 2018 release, Shelter, that sweeping sound evolved further, featuring more heavily processed samples and melodies layered to create intricate patterns.

His newest project, A Firefly Out of Season, explores moodier palettes, influenced by the innovations of artists like Flying Lotus and Teebs, while maintaining his same accessible melodic sensibilities. A heavier emphasis on vocal samples also brings an additional layer of complexity, often blurring the line between human and machine.

Gemini Tri is back with his second installment of exquisitely crafted IDM, ambient, and downtempo on SSS. Astroida channels cosmic moods interspersed with abstract themes ranging from an appreciation of the observable universe to deep space exploration. The album features seven tracks of slow calm pads as well as glitch experimental tracks featuring arpeggiators and guitars. Still more cold and mechanic sounds are on offer here, hinting at the ruthlessness of space and life as rarity in the outer fringes of the cosmos.

Take my Soul to the End of Time,
Fine tides keep me Divine
In Design; All the signs
The Sprouting Seed, Cultivated Feed
From the Sands of Time, Elevated Deed

Restoration; Rejuvenation; Exploration

Deep space of Loneliness where
I find myself, Occupied and Filled.
Touching the Clouds of Infinity.
The Stars sing deep to my Bones;
Light - Every Breath is a Prayer.
I am Jah's Kingdom - I am, I am,
I am the Kingdom.

The Origin. The Temple.

I see the Sound,
In Solace I'm Found.
I see the Voice,
There is Clarity in the Noise.

Colours are heard, through the
Vessels of my Heart...
Bleeding hymns.
A flowing chorus to the Creed,
dilating Organs of Intuition lay at the Altar
Revealing my Falter; I'm Hue-myn
With Limbs I move, a dance to the Elder,
My inherited Wisdom; Asante Sana

Samahani, lakini nilikua nimesahau

I am the Body of Osiris
The Light of Isis.
I am the Rise of Horus,
Embodied in the Placenta of Amma.

Shukrani...
