Transcendental Rock Band AMBDS Releases Debut EP Today Via SYFFAL

11.27.2013

Critical Praise for AMBDS:

“…a pulsing rush of dance-floor beats, bubbling hot like a sun flare. Mercereau’s voice floats out into the ether like a stranded astronaut as the song spirals towards oblivion, only to be pulled back down in the gravity swell of a massive, soundscape-altering guitar solo.” – Consequence of Sound

” A Million Billion Dying Suns sound as dramatic as your name implies, with long, lush textures within pulsing noise pop.” – Best New Bands

“A Million Billion Dying Suns is raw as f*ck. And it’s not just the whiskey talking.” – Boots Riley (The Coup & Street Sweeper Social Club)

“…washes of beautiful, unrelenting, but reigned in noise; glorious noise.” – Impose

The Album:

Typically, a band might cite other groups or perhaps genres as musical influences. A Million Billion Dying Suns, however, is no typical band. Group leader Nate Mercereau says of his songwriting process, “Trying to create a song or melody that is a musical representation of something abstract is what’s most inspirational. Like, ‘what would this pyramid sing if it was levitating over a frozen ocean on a distant planet right now?’ I haven’t used that one yet ha, but strange otherworldly visuals like that stimulate me to make music.”

These abstract influences reveal themselves in the band’s music: SYFFAL raves about the music, describing it as “a swirling ball of gasses that leave me spent yet rejuvenated after every listen,” and “filled with atmosphere like a muthaf–ker, vocals that hang out in the corner smoking cigarettes looking cooler than everyone in the room and guitars that sound like god talking in his/her sleep and reveling a tawdry affair with Oprah.” The San Francisco-based band today premieres their debut, an exhilarating 3-song EP entitled Strawberry EP, on SYFFAL.
