Colorado-based hydro-funk trio Sunsquabi will release their latest full-length album Instinct on January 11th. Led by a three-track series of singles “Caterpiller,” “Chrysalis,” and “Night Moth,” the LP finds the band at their highest peak as they have been dedicated to the metamorphosis of capturing elements in their live performances in the studio as improvisational jams have been fleshed out into full-blown songs and staples in their repertoire.

Instinct is a biological-themed journey of evolution. With the addition of Josh Fairman (bass/synth bass) last year and new levels of compositional prowess and sound design, it is evident that the group is dedicated to forward trajectory and experimentation. Each song’s namesake inspired by a creature or biological element is a reflection of every track taking on a distinct life of its own.

In addition to Kevin Donohue (Guitar/Production), Josh Fairman (Bass/Synth Bass), and Chris Anderson (Drums), the album also features Nick Gerlach on saxophone (“Pangolin”), Spencer Anderson on Violin (“Chrysalis”), Chris Karns (Pretty Lights) on Turntables, Jason Hann(string Cheese Incident) on percussion.

Frequency Bender X Wizdro - Blazin' Pounds

I have been going through a weird time lately, so I wrote this.

Bismyth - Horizons

This track captures a lot of emotions I was going through earlier this year. Burnt out, hopeless, and a bit lost. All I wanted to do was be a hermit and disappear from social settings because I had all of these mental battles with myself. A very groovy and moody track.

To Disappear

"Off The Beat'n Path is my debut, full-length release via Kansas City-based Philos Records. A culmination of tracks inspired by the twists-and-turns, highs-and-lows faced on our own specific paths. Whichever direction you may choose, for better or for worse, I hope the music will help bring positivity along the way." 

Thank You to Philos Records for making this release possible and allowing me to share my music with the world! Special thanks to my parents, Roads, G-MO, Martin Lambert, Mr. Jilliams, and all those who have shown support along the way…Most importantly YOU for taking the time to listen. Feel free to drop a donation if you like what you hear. Stay tuned, the best is yet to come!"

‘Caterpillar’ is the first stage in a 3-part series. The band has been focusing on Biology and evolution as themes for inspiration during their writing process. “The metamorphosis becomes more evident as the other two stages are revealed. It's been a really fun process to work on. Especially because we are bridging the other stages (yet to be released) together.” Says Kevin Donohue. Chris Anderson’s (drummer) younger brother Spencer Anderson is also featured on the violin in the track. ‘Caterpillar’ is the 2nd single released by the band since their last EP with more music to be released in the coming months.

Caterpillar

“Chrysalis” is the second stage of SunSquabi’s three-part series that started with the track “Caterpillar” and will also include the forthcoming “Night Moth.” All three songs find SunSquabi focusing on biology and evolution as themes for inspiration during their writing process and show off a metamorphosis to the way their music has come into fruition recently. “The metamorphosis becomes more evident as these stages are revealed,” multi-instrumentalist Kevin Donohue explains.

Chrysalis

"I am beyond humbled to present Planetary Medicine, my first full-length album. Composed over the last three years in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, this LP is, for me, a testament to the healing power of music. Each song and meditation is encoded with frequencies designed to heighten conscious vibrations. Some tracks are representations of my mental visions, translated into soundscapes; others began as experiments in sampling and sound design and blossomed outward from there. Each track holds a special place in my heart and I am forever grateful to the planetary muse that guides this project..

Thank you to everyone who lends their ears and hearts to this music. I love you all. You are an infinite source of divine energy and you can do anything."

Murkury - Singularity

‘Night Moth’ is the final stage and lead track of a 3-part series that started with tracks ‘Caterpillar’ and ‘Chrysalis’. “Night Moth is the peak of the metamorphosis and really represents the transformation we have gone through as a band over the last year. The song began as an improvisational idea in Madison, WI while on tour. Over time the song took form to what the studio version is today, changing shape and structure many times. This idea was really what spawned the rest of the upcoming album.” Says Kevin Donohue.

Stay tuned for the full-length release from the band later in 2018.
