#BandcampRoulette

The beautiful and haunting sounds of Center of the Sun (NC), a band rumored to be on permanent hiatus via the abundance of exaggerated Facebook finale posts, lives on in the Bandcamp directory. “Cease” off of their 2012 record, Machine Gun, is a melancholy mixture of Metric and Mazzy Star. The entire record is reminiscent of Julee Cruise (Twin Peaks) and the beautiful multicolored splatter vinyl is still available for purchase at Self Aware Records.

Play Bandcamp Roulette.
