"get your fingers down"
Sunroot has collaborated with Darkwater and Stars on “Ur face ‘der,” a short yet affecting ethereal and alternative piece that makes you wanna hear more. Sunroot aka Mark Richardson has been making music out of Texas for decades, having played in Clouded, All Transistor and with Daniel Johnston (to name a few). Darkwater and Stars is Melissa Shawn Griffin, who creates atmospheric and dark wave soundscapes, and they’ve teamed up with Sunroot to mesh their creative outlooks. The track is about forcing a smile while getting through the day, for the sake of pushing past your concerns or anxiousness to be courteous. The vibe of the music suits this theme, something you could listen to cathartically while doing something similar in your every life. Whether it’s going through depression while having to work, or being upset but trying to remain calm and kind to a cashier, we all experience this but interaction with others has a nice way of snapping us out of it. Listen to “Ur face ‘der,” while you persevere this day, and keep on Sunroot and Darkwater and Stars for their future releases and collaborations.
