Saturday’s show at Bizzo’s was our first headline at the Caringbah venue. Having just completed our recording and mastering sessions, we were rather tired but looking forward to finally getting back to the live scene. This was to be Steve’s last show with us (however we later announced a couple of smaller shows).

Act I: Every Horizon - released January 15, available for free download.
When putting together the first drafts for the album I instantly knew I wanted this to be more than just a demo EP. I really wanted to tell a story. When penning the lyrics for my own songs it’s very easy to be content because I’m so close to them. However, when writing the lyrics to represent Sonixtrip - it’s a different process all together. I need to keep in mind what the band and the music says throughout a set. Not only in terms of mood and energy, but also in terms of lyrical direction.
That in mind, and the EP being our first, we decided to serialise our releases. We are no more the actors in a movie, as we write the scenes for an act, to which we develop a story or play. We are the cast, and we have a supurb crew.
On a personal level AIEH deals with my struggles with addiction, relationships and internalising all of it. The lyrics of which have now all been published.

The Sun whose lyrics the title of the EP is derived from, deals with submission. It’s the acceptance that after all this there still is hope. It’s the calm after the storm, the rise of phoniex, the resurrection. We felt this song was a perfect ending as it is full of resolve. We only know our darkest corners because of the lights that flicker in the distance — on the horizon. Personally, it was about letting someone go, forgiving them, but never forgetting what they’ve done for me.

My personal favourite both live and recording. Continuing the story the song in my opinion is the climax of the EP as it ultimately deals with the chaos of decision, the state of helplessness and openly confesses the thoughts, desires and fears going through it. I purposely blend the two because personally I’ve struggled with both and am always amazed at the similarities.

Push was the newest song to date prior to recording, it really set a new bench mark in energy and song dynamics for us. This is the torment evoked through addiction while drawing parrallels between that and relationships we have in our lives. And the way outside influences (whether driven by other people, drugs, work etc) affect our relationships with other people.

The opening on track for Act I: Every Horizon was unanimously agreed to be Breathe. This track we felt had the right energy levels to truly set the tone for the 4 song, 5 track EP. It was one of the newer tracks that really translated well to recording.
