A Shotgun State of Sunshine sets the stage for Soviet Spacedog's erratic style of psychedelic pop music from another dimension, inspired by the likes of The Postal Service, St. Vincent, Radiohead and Tame Impala. Dense, dynamic songs are meticulously arranged to guide the listener into a groove before pulling the sonic rug out from under their ears and leading them down an auditory journey through alien atmospheres and glitchy textures.
A Shotgun State of Sunshine is one step on a journey to expunge darkness from the artist's past and focus on the staccato bursts of hope that blast through the murk and depression, trailing through themes of childhood trauma, mental illness, and extraterrestrial visitors.
