Surya Kris Peters Releases New Album Ego Therapy

Surya Kris Peters

Ego Therapy is the second solo outing of the year from prolific Samsara Blues Experiment guitarist/vocalist Christian Peters under his Surya Kris Peters and it finds him experimenting with the interplay of guitar and synthesized melody in instrumentalist fashion as well as working with his old Terraplane bandmate, Jens Vogel, who contributes drums to half of the tracks, including 15-minute opener and longest song (immediate points) “Angels in Bad Places.” Fuzzy guitar seems to be in conversation with itself on the layered “Wizard’s Dream,” whereas “A Fading Spark” is pure synth reminiscent of a 1980s vision of the future — is that you, Mega-Man? — and the subsequent “Every Master Has a Mother” brings together synth tension, organ and a sweet line of melody to affect a kind of wistfulness rare for something so outwardly proggy. Earlier cuts like the title-track present a full wash of tone with Vogel‘s drums pushing the proceedings forward, while “Beyond the Sun” brings Goblin-style atmospherics — I’ll assume that’s the John Carpenter influence noted below — together with a more rocking undertone that creates a standout vibe.

Or is it “Gemini IV (The Sky is Open)” that sounds like Mega-Man?

Either way, clearly it’s a varied collection, but the adventurousness of Peters‘ sonic palette and the effective nature of his collaboration with Vogel brings something new to this purposeful departure from familiarity.

You can hear the album in its entirety below, or grab a download as you will.

A promotext looks like this:

“Possible and impossible influences may have been John Carpenter, and also Carpenter Brut, Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis, The Pink Floyd, The Desert Sessions 1&2, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Isao Tomita and Reinhard Lakomy, but also early computer- and video games and spaced-out cartoon series like Saber Rider.”
