Keeping the same members and guest musicians, the band used its excitement and forward momentum - aided no doubt by its ever-growing experience and taste for experimentation - to produce its next album, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSunshine Kiz\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, within the tiny span of six months. And despite seeing no change in personnel for these latest efforts, PIPER’s musicality was constantly evolving.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"isPasted\"\u003ePerhaps most obviously, \u003cem\u003eSunshine Kiz\u003c\/em\u003e showed the band beginning to break away from its signature style. Instrumentals were no longer the focus as more vocal-centric tracks made their way to the fore. \u003cem\u003eSunshine Kiz\u003c\/em\u003e turned out to be a “song album,” and its lyric sheet saw a substantial increase in the number of words. A Drumulator replaced the LinnDrums, and the programmed percussion suddenly sounded more natural. Some songs actually featured live drumming, abandoning programmed beats altogether.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIt could be said that this all amounted to, at least partially, a return to PIPER’s roots. Or, maybe more accurately, it was something like PIPER circa 1981 filtered through the signature sound the band had forged with their two Breeze albums of 1983. The title track on \u003cem\u003eSunshine Kiz\u003c\/em\u003e was released as their second-ever single - their first since “Far Away” from their debut album. And with this new single there even came a music video.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePlease note: This is a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003edistributed title\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (which means another label pressed this release), so \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003ewe do not have any extra jackets\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e for this release in case of minor damage by the USPS in transit.
