SUNGAZE with THE CORDIAL SINS and FERN MURPHY (Indianapolis)

Hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio, the soundscapes and melodies that create Sungaze conjure up images of vivid dreams and other-worldly landscapes. A little western, a little sad, with a dose of heavy reverb and haunting vocals--you haven't heard it before.

The Cordial Sins are drawing fervent attention for their delectable meld of alternative, shoegaze and pop, having recently completed their first U.S. tour in support of Elvis Depressedly. The group’s electrifying performance has also been showcased on stages shared with the likes of The Breeders, Foals, The Flaming Lips, Twin Peaks, Wolf Alice and more.

In Memory, the band’s forthcoming EP, was written in earnest by The Cordial Sins co-founders, Liz Fisher (vocals, guitar) and Corey Dickerson (lead guitar, vocals), and lovingly bore by long-time bandmates John Allen (bass) and Mike Ortiz (drums), all during the most haphazardly fleeting form of time: tour. In moments on the road — of arresting inspiration, dissembling emotion, and scarce stillness — The Cordial Sins made a grittily fizzing meld of rasping indie rock, melty shoegaze, and raw emotion, almost combative in its strength.

In Memory is out October 25 on Chicago-based label, Diversion Records.
