Rubblebucket: Sun Machine (Indie Exclusive Colored Vinyl) Vinyl LP Discount

Did I make you mean, or were you always that way? Sun Machine documents the dissolution of the 11-year relationship of Rubblebucket s principle agents Kalmia Traver and Alex Toth, and their compulsion to continue writing and recording together despite their romantic fallout ( conscious uncoupling ). The pair have been disarmingly open about their struggles – both individual and together as a couple – and the songs on Sun Machine are bursting at the seams with the emotional exhaustion brought on by getting sober, a bout with cancer and the shifting phases (and eventual unraveling) of their relationship. But don t take that as any indication that Sun Machine isn t loads of fun, because it is. Rubblebucket utilize a carefully-curated palette of crunchy drums, horns and synthesizer arpeggios to sculpt  a party album rooted in radical mindfulness, and Traver s voice is the cherry on top. Highlights include: Fruity, Lemonade, Donna, What Life Is and Annihilation Song. Indie-exclusive yellow vinyl edition includes a  scent modification device (citrus-scented car air freshener) and printed inner sleeve.
