"With this year’s Twin Evil Twin EP, Sunglaciers planted their stake as one of Calgary’s preeminent psych rock outfits. With a dazzling live show, the three-piece wind through their spindly pop gems, moving across time signatures and polyrhythms with ease." - Sled Island

Bio
SUNGLACIERS, a new trio from Calgary, Alberta, originated in singer/guitarist Evan Resnik’s bedroom, the product of countless hours of hermetic bedroom writing, recording, and solitary sonic experimentation. Since the release of their debut EP in summer 2017, Resnik has been slowly expanding the group’s vision to include new members, namely bassist/multi-instrumentalist Kyle Crough (DRI HIEV) and Mathieu Blanchard (Crystal Eyes, Catholic Girls) at the drums. While Resnik’s initial penchant for chiming, melodic indie rock remains, the addition of Blanchard’s tight, propulsive drumming and Crough’s grimy, sub-sonic bass style has pivoted the group from solo project to a fully collaborative, multi-hued band affair.
SUNGLACIERS’ songs are complex but never fussy, maintaining a healthy display of instrumental dexterity and structural sophistication while never sacrificing their strong songwriting sensibilities and knack for buzzing earworm melodies. It makes sense, then, that they’ve all but devoured the gamut of guitar-based rock music, touching on the textural aspects of key torch-bearers like Sonic Youth and the Velvet Underground, and recalling the choicest elements of groups as diverse & sharp as Deerhunter and the Walkmen. The band released their second EP, Twin Evil Twin, in March 2018. It was recorded and co-produced by Chris Dadge (Lab Coast, Chad VanGaalen, Alvvays) and suggests a group on the cusp of making its mark on Canada’s musical landcape. A Dadge-helmed LP is due in early 2019, and the band can be found playing around Canada over the next few months.
