Cincinnati Dream Pop Trio Sungaze Release Debut Album – “Light in All of It”

Sungaze is a Cincinnati-based three-piece band whose deeply studied and emotionally resonant sound floats between the effervescent sheen of early 90’s Shoegaze and the hypnotic, sunbaked drone of modern psych.

While initially started as a bedroom project of Hilvert, keyboardist Ivory Snow eventually joined the group as a keyboardist and vocalist. The husband and wife duo – like any solid relationship – brought their own influences to the project, with Hilvert counting Opeth, Mastadon and Washed Out as major influencers while Snow’s inspirations are solidly in the 70’s with Neil Young and Gordon Lightfoot as spiritual predecessors.
