Sunshine / At the Drive-In is a split EP by post-hardcore bands Sunshine and At the Drive-In. It was released under the independent record label Big Wheel Recreation on April 13, 2000. It featured songs by the Czech band Sunshine and the American band At the Drive-In. It was also released on vinyl on 12-inch.[1]

Description

The album itself does not include a cover, but only the disc and the case.[2] Anchored by the much more prominent At the Drive-In,[3] the split is actually dominated in length songs by Sunshine;[2] their three tracks elapse almost two-thirds of the album. The first song "Streamlined", which has been described as having a steady drum beat, odd noises and echoing guitar effects,[2] appears three times on the album; the second two being remixes of the same general loop.[4] For fans of At the Drive-In, this album, as well as another split they shared with Burning Airlines,[5] gave a taste of their music from their anticipated upcoming album, Relationship of Command.[2] At the Drive-In's two-song contribution bears a strong musical resemblance to their previous release, 1999's Vaya, as well as their subsequent full-length album, Relationship of Command. However, the split has a considerably lower level of production than Vaya, and lacks the full sound found on Relationship of Command, attributed to not having Ross Robinson producing it.[4] "Extracurricular" later appeared as one of two bonus tracks on the re-release of Relationship of Command.[6]

Reception

Template:Music ratings Generally, reception for the album was positive,[7][8] and Matthieu Moquet of Mowno Magazine has called it "dark and phenomenal".[9] Also, the two bands have been said to complement each other well on this EP.[8] However, the third repetition of the song "Streamlined" left one critic tired of the EP,[2] and Sunshine / At the Drive-In has been described as decent, but not essential.[4]

Sunshine / At the Drive-In spent a total of three weeks on CMJ Radio charts, appearing first in the charts at #134 during the week of May 12, 2000.[10] By May 29, the EP had managed to reach its peak ranking at 60.[11]
