Sun Airway is a Philadelphia-based American musical duo featuring Jon Barthmus and Patrick Marsceill, who were previously members of The A-Sides. Their sound incorporates elements from genres such as alternative dance, indietronica, dream pop, alternative rock, indie pop, and pop rock. Since their inception in 2009, they have produced two albums under the Dead Oceans label: Nocturne of Exploded Crystal Chandelier (2010) and Soft Fall (2012). Following a short hiatus starting in 2013, they independently released their third album, Heraldic Black Cherry, in 2017.
Background
After the breakup of The A-Sides in 2009, Jon Barthmus and drummer Patrick Marsceill formed Sun Airway. The band underwent a period of inactivity between 2013 and 2016, which led to uncertainty regarding their continuation. This was clarified when they announced their third album, marking their reemergence in the music industry.
Music history
Established in 2009, the duo debuted with the studio album Nocturne of Exploded Crystal Chandelier on October 25, 2010, released through Dead Oceans. Their second studio effort, Soft Fall, arrived on October 2, 2012, serving as their last collaboration with Dead Oceans. In December 2016, Sun Airway revealed plans for a new album and shared the single "FOAM" via their official Facebook page.
