Exclusive Premiere: SunSquabi Shares ‘Chrysalis’ Single

Livetronica three-piece SunSquabi are releasing a series of three singles ahead of a full-length studio album this fall. JamBase is pleased to premiere the band’s latest single, “Chrysalis.”

“Chrysalis” is the second stage of SunSquabi’s three-part series that started with the track “Caterpillar” and will also include the forthcoming “Night Moth.” All three songs find SunSquabi focusing on biology and evolution as themes for inspiration during their writing process and show off a metamorphosis to the way their music has come into fruition recently. “The metamorphosis becomes more evident as these stages are revealed,” multi-instrumentalist Kevin Donohue explains to JamBase.

The trio couldn’t be happier with how the recordings came out. “Capturing the live element in the studio is really something we have been focusing on and we feel like this is the best representation of the band to date,” keyboardist/bassist Josh Fairman tells JamBase.

“This one was memorable for me. We flew my brother Spencer Anderson out to record violin on ‘Chrysalis,'” drummer Chris Anderson adds. “You can usually find him on stage with his orchestra at Skidmore College, but this time we wanted to explore strings in the context of SunSquabi tunes. Collaborating with family is so special.”
