Press

“Sundaze chose its name wisely. The warmth of the Portland trio's recently released EP, Snow Falling—one inspired by shoestring-staring pop groups like Slowdive and Chapterhouse—provides a great core, while the knotty guitar lines and somnolent vocals of June Kang fill the surrounding air like thick, dizzying incense smoke. ”

— Robert Ham, Willamette Week

“Full of reverb drenched power pop, the seven tracks twang through to make a perfect mix for summer listening. With heavy touches and lo-fi production, there is a pronounced garage vibe to the EP as well. The band adds some retro sounds here and there to complete the treatment. This is a solid EP through and through, showing much promise for the band. ”

— Prevrat, Floorshime Zipper Boots (FZB)

“Sundaze bring a sprightly dream pop touch back to the shoegaze sounds of reverb-a-go-go and loud screeching distortion. With their hand-clapping rhythms and prominent melodies, the trio infuse a youthful energy into their loops, and like a shimmering answer to the new wave of monotony, find a light in the deepest notes. A shoegazing band with their heads up high? Now that's a sweet little paradox.”

— Tracy Mamoun, The Deli Portland

“Portland has a reputation for alt-folkiness, but lately the city of roses has seen a rise of dream pop love (i.e. Blouse), and Sundaze is one band gaining momentum. The trio just released a 7 track EP drenched in reverb, electronic drums and sexy guitars, with flavors of The Raveonettes, Serena-Maneesh, and Galaxie 500. ”

— QRO Magazine

“They'll make yr eyes roll up back in yr head, they'll make you see silver stars... When they finished, i was disappointed; i wanted them to go all night... It’s a pleasant surprise to find an excellent shoegaze band, one that should not be taken for granted. ”

— J Simpson, J's Heaven
