Creative Vibrations find bliss in the blues on new album 'Sunday Bummer'

If you’ve ever felt that peculiar sting as the sun dips on a Sunday evening, that bittersweet cocktail of warmth and dread, Creative Vibrations have bottled it perfectly in their newest album 'Sunday Bummer'.

Helmed by Pete Sahaidachny, the Oregon collective have delivered a record that feels like a hazy dreamscape stitched together from quiet living rooms and star-drenched skies. From the shimmering opener 'The Way', it establishes itself as a sprawling meditation on the in-between moments, the ones that slip through your fingers when you’re not looking.

Each track unfolds like a short film, inviting you to linger in its tender contradictions. Songs like 'Problems' pulse with Richard Turgeon’s precise drumming, grounding Sahaidachny’s breathy vocals as they float through a swirl of reverb-laden guitars and synth haze. While 'Information Overload' feels like being half-awake at 4 a.m., when the world is soft and your thoughts are loud.

There’s a sense of gentle melancholy running throughout, but never enough to sink you. Instead, it feels like a comforting shoulder squeeze. An acknowledgment that everything might be falling apart, but we’re all wobbling together. As the genre-defying production makes each song feel intimate yet expansive.

With 'Sunday Bummer', Creative Vibrations have transformed the quiet dread of Sunday evenings into something shimmering and strange, reminding us that even in the heaviest moments, there’s beauty to be found if we’re willing to sit still and listen.
