On today’s very special episode of Songmess we are joined by Samuel Osorio of Mexican experimental band Sunset Images. Though Osorio’s brainchild, the band performs as a duo, with Samuel playing both guitar and bass through pedals and looping techniques and enlisting a string of drummers to help build the project's rhythmic profile.

Osorio is never quite certain how to label Sunset Images, whether as noise, experimental, post-rock or within any other genre. He started the band after attending a fateful Mogwai show when he was 19, where he was both blown away and inspired to begin a project of his own. Sunset Images have received critical acclaim for their overwhelming sound and inventive live performances, toured Mexico, Japan and were based in NYC for six months where they recorded and performed regularly.

Today’s show is a peek behind the curtain and an in depth conversation with the soft-spoken mastermind. The playlist echoes Osorio’s love of fragile chaos and with many song selections made in post-production, we’ve included a complete tracklist below.
