Manic Focus + SunSquabi

Music has the power to move usphysically, emotionally, and spiritually. For SunSquabiKevin Donohue [guitar, keys, production], Josh Fairman [bass, synth], and Scotty Zwang [drums]that power lives in the unspoken language they share on stage and in the studio. With millions of streams and high-energy performances at venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre, theyve carved out a space where electronic production, jam-band freedom, and funk-rooted grooves collide.Now, the Colorado-based trio turns the page with their most defining release yet: a self-titled album that reintroduces SunSquabi in their purest form. More than a record, SunSquabi is a creative reseta declaration of who they are now, and where theyre headed next.This is the most honest version of us, says Donohue. It felt right to make it self-titled, because weve grown into something newand we wanted to mark that.The album follows a strong run of EPs (Cloudburst and Grind) that saw the band evolving through collaboration, improvisation, and reinvention. Tracks often began as live jamsmany from their livestream sessions during the pandemicand grew into fully fleshed-out songs that reflect both discipline and spontaneity.We didnt overthink it. We trusted our instincts, adds Fairman. Everything came from a real place, and we stayed true to that. This record feels like a culmination.Since 2015, SunSquabi has toured relentlessly and released boundary-pushing records like Odyssey (2016), Deluxe EP (2017), and Instinct (2019). Theyve collaborated with artists like Lettuce, GRiZ, Late Night Radio, and The String Cheese Incident, building a loyal following along the way. Media outlets including JamBase, Live For Live Music, and ThisSongIsSick have praised their genre-defying sound and explosive live shows.While their past work laid the foundation, SunSquabi feels like the project that defines them. Its not just a name on a recordits a statement of identity, intention, and evolution. And as always, their goal is simple: move people, lift spirits, and keep the groove alive.
