David Nicholas (guitar), Matthew McGarraghy (guitar) and Davis White (percussion) weave sparkling guitars with meditative rhythms to form the instrumental sound of Sansyou. Informed by the ambient sounds of 4AD, postpunk, postrock and shoegaze, Sansyou balances blissed-out guitar excursions with melody and structure. The Dilettante, released on Moon Sounds Records unfolds “without vocal cues or overt verse-chorus structure, as they develop their runs of tiny guitar trills…shimmering, sensuous stuff”. –The Big Takeover. Like their 2011 debut, When We Become Ghosts, the new songs “…have a more understated elegance…than traditional dream pop or post-rock. This is music for ears that appreciate thoughtful, layered sounds that unspool gently and gradually, and are rich with both melody and possibility.” – The Vinyl District
