Over the course of the EP’s six tracks, which move between delicate ethereal passages to tsunamis of fuzz warped by reverse reverbs, the band look to find comfort in the misery, romanticising the agony just to survive. We will be breaking through the EP track by track, breaking down each track and taking the listeners through the recording and writing process of the EP.</p><p>The band will also be in Dublin on the 28th of August and Belfast on the 29th as part of this year edition of Gazefest, put on by Old Crow Promotions, whose lineup includes Deary, Silk, Touzai, Cable Boy, Resplandor, Skyless, Midnight Housework and Ilisium. Tickets for both days of Gazefest are on sale now.</p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://linktr.ee/sunstingerband?utm_source=ig&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_content=link_in_bio&amp;fbclid=PAcGRvZgJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA85MzY2MTk3NDMzOTI0NTkAAaf2_07ns1a-JjQhFXQ638W_1S2bYNJJG4r48cCLgp8KdjF3mSG8pLKBXSP-_g_aem_KLIGD0h-zNod-2akakYPaw\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Sunstinger on Linktree</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.thegrandsocial.ie/events/old-crows-promotions-presents-gazefest-2\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Tickets for Gazefest at Dublin</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.ohyeahbelfast.com/events/gazefest\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Tickets for Gazefest at Belfast</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://ie.powertik.com/events/shortest-straw-a-new-normal-irish-tour-live-at-sin-e\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Shortest Straw in Sin E!</a></p><p><a href=\"https://ie.powertik.com/en/events/spaced-live-at-lost-lane-w-dry-socket\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Spaced W/ Dry Socket live at Lost Lane</a></p><p><a href=\"https://ie.powertik.com/en/events/lavein-lure-in-live-at-sin-e-w-t-r-y-s-t-e-the-neck\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">LaVein and Lure In live at Sin E W/ T R Y S T E &amp; The Neck</a></p>","author_name":"Barra Carlin"}
