Soon after America's favorite surf pop band broke up in 1967, Sunshine Village rose from the ashes, leaving behind teenage surf anthems for melancholy songs of lost love and political angst. ‘’The Buffalo Trees Saved the Children of the Sun'' is Sunshine Village's second full length record, made during their 1968 lost recording sessions. It acts as an opus to the accompanying, psychedelic anti-war children's book of the same name.
''The Buffalo Trees Saved the Children of the Sun'' weaves dreamy orchestral folk through mountains of lush, psychedelic harmonies to tell the story of a group of teenagers deserting the war that is emerging in Northern Ireland during the late 1960's. The Children of the Sun find solace deep inside the enchanted Mossley Mill forest with their new friends, the Buffalo Trees.
MONOLITHIC Pictures Director Ryan Hartsell and Male Cancer Awareness Campaign were selected by Oculus as part of their Vr for Good initiative to bring a greater awareness to testicular cancer. Early detection and early treatment saves lives. ‘’The Evolution of Testicles,’’ a live action 360 VR short starring, Chris O’Dowd, will be premiering this year as an official selection at SXSW. ’’The Buffalo Tree's Saved the Children of the Sun'' was re-mixed and mastered in spacial audio for the official soundtrack, featuring musicians from Leon Bridges, Apples in Stereo, The Earlies (UK), Deathray Davies, Don Henley (The Eagles), and the lead singer and founder of the Polyphonic Spree.
