Back in 2019, Stranger writer Dave Segal wrote: "This city needs more groups like sunking, who flit among genres such as hip-hop, jazz, and shoegaze rock while messing with the DNAs of each style they address. Led by drummer Rob "Bobbygrooves" Granfelt and keyboardist/guitarist Antoine "Sous Chef" Martel, sunking dropped a 23-track self-titled album that recalls the mercurial rhythmic sorcery of Prefuse 73 and Flying Lotus and the melodic delicacy and atmospheric mysteriousness of Air and the Heliocentrics." They will debut tracks from their new album, Smug, after an opening set from experimental artist Evan Shay.
