| 2001 full length recorded by chris townsend and oren ambarchi in sydney, originally released on the preservation music label, now reissued as a double cd/lp set with remixes... i sussed it out for pitchforkmedia.com thusly:
the side of oren ambarchi no one gets to hear: his complete & total infatuation with all things brian wilson. no no-wave caterwaul. no coldly calculated guitar-sine throbs. no drones. just good old-fashioned summertime jangly sunshine music. some of this reminds me of low (whispered couplets over near-imperceptable acoustic tone clusters) or maybe even the clientele sans-baggage. i have nothing but respect for oren following through on his various seemingly contradicting musical visions. hearing him lay his boyish tenor bare on record for posterity only makes me like him more. and the songs are quite nice, catchy, hummable, am-radio stuff. lovely. |

| staubgold 39 sun » s/t« 2cd/2lp
"heartfelt melodies and crystalline guitars play throughout throbbing atmospherics. it all makes for soulful listening." (rolling stone australia).
staubgold proudly presents the self-titled debut album from the sydney duo sun, licensed from australia's preservation records for exclusive worldwide release, and accompanied by a complete bonus remix album feat. mixes of all original tracks by artists like hrvatski, mapstation, pluramon, rafael toral, christoph heemann and pimmon.
sun is the unusual pairing of world renowned experimental guitarist oren ambarchi and australian music figurehead chris townend. sun confirms its authors as two truly original music minds, a languid and sweet pop creation, brimming with sly invention in its classicist frame. these songs simply float into the consciousness with a grand air and sublimely delicate touch. there's an easy warmth to sun as well as some darker surprises for added depth and nuance. |
