Sounds were layered to build a dense, but articulated, sonic wall,&#8221; explains\u00a0Mario Lo Faro. <em>&#8220;Also we recorded the songs from &#8216;Surfacing to Breathe&#8217; while we were touring so they retain that &#8220;live&#8221; vibe and power, while &#8216;Out of Your Ego&#8217; had more ethereal and &#8220;light&#8221; tracks.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Clustersun released their first single <em>Be Vegetal<\/em> via\u00a0US indie label Custom Made Music and Italian indie label Seahorse Recordings, who released the band&#8217;s debut album &#8216;Out of Your Ego&#8217;.
