"The war is on the shoulder / and mercy backs no one / in wind as harsh as this / Battle is over and mourning is the work / giving the water back to the brook you feel it…"
On the heels of their 2022 EP 'Capsule II', New Hampshire's Party of the Sun have been making the artistic, conscious effort of releasing material monthly. One such release is the translucent 'See Space'. It feels rustic and airy. Ethan McBrien's vocal aesthetic, sparse with some words stretched out like elastic, feels reverent like natures melancholia in repose. The drones of sounds, the acoustic textures, tactile, nimble and so beautiful ends all too quickly.
Ethan McBrien – guitars, banjo, keyboards, vocals
Rory Hurley – guitars, keyboards, drums, bass, mandolin

“ …we explored new arrangements in preparation for summer shows, the sound is full, it feels good. We track guitar and drums live for this one, a common workflow for the Capsule project. Rory and I arrange as we go. Garrett adds mandolin and vibes a few days later, these textures unlock the piece”
