 Sunflower Spectacle Despite the band’s sunny name, Sunflower Spectacle singer Chris Kupchella said his seven-member psychedelic folk rock group’s music is noticeably dimmer. “The songs mainly focus on life’s tragedies which can be anything from the death or loss of someone close to you; or coming to terms with human mortality,” he said. The music features vocal harmonies, a range of instruments and an atmospheric soundscape influenced by the likes of Bob Dylan, The Velvet Underground, Modest Mouse, R.E.M., Syd Barrett, The Kinks, The Beatles, Roy Orbison, The Beach Boys, The Flaming Lips, The Walkmen, Television, Yo La Tengo, The Arcade Fire, and Leonard Cohen. Band members also include Derek Gresh, Kevin Horvath, Justin Gyurik, Cory Shoff, Brandon Shreve, Alan Horvath, and producer Troy Bugosh is credited as an unoffical eighth member.
