SUN BLOOD STORIES ALL AGES RSD17 ALBUM RELEASE PARTY FRIDAY, APRIL 21

In celebration of the release of “It Runs Around the Room With Us,” Sun Blood Stories will perform a special all-ages Record Store Day Eve album release set at 7:30pm Friday, April 21, at The Record Exchange (1105 W. Idaho St.). As always, this Record Exchange in-store event is free and all ages.

“It Runs Around the Room With Us” will be available for purchase at the event (CD, vinyl and cassette). Sun Blood Stories’ official album release party is Saturday, April 22 at Neurolux and we have tickets for sale at the store.

“It Runs Around the Room with Us” is the third album from Sun Blood Stories. It’s a collage of echo fuzz feedback melodies; super chunk forever drums; sometimes pretty songs too.

Sun Blood Stories appears in trio form while still maintaining full orchestral textures that guide you on a journey through that space between wake and sleep. Alternating between ghostly, heavy and goofy, this album creates a solid vision from the opening note to the ending laughter.

ABOUT SUN BLOOD STORIES

Sun Blood Stories is a mass of harmonic noise distilled into occasionally delicate, but always haunting songs. The band is comprised of three equal members: Amber Pollard, Ben Kirby and Jon Fust; this current arrangement is the realization of a sedulous refining process that has guided them into trio form.

Sun Blood Stories has been called “high desert psychedelia” (thanks, Wolvserpent), sonically compared to early Pink Floyd (thanks, random patron at Hogan’s) and flatteringly referred to as “Neil Young in a cave on acid” (thanks, Talkative).

Sun Blood Stories is dreamy, aware, personal, open, fuzzed out, and loud af.
