Sundowning's album Demo is a promising debut that showcases the band's potential in the post-hardcore genre. The album features six tracks that are both aggressive and introspective, with lyrics that delve into themes of anxiety, self-doubt, and identity. The band's instrumentation is dynamic, with heavy riffs, pounding drums, and atmospheric melodies that create a moody and emotive sound. The standout track is "Dissonance," which features a powerful chorus and a memorable guitar riff. While the album could benefit from more variation in tempo and structure, it is a strong start for Sundowning and a promising sign of things to come. Fans of bands like La Dispute, Touché Amoré, and Pianos Become the Teeth should definitely give Demo a listen.
