Sun Voyager Sign to Ripple Music; Self-Titled LP Out Oct. 7
Congratulations to Sun Voyager, who are about to release one of 2022’s best records in the form of their self-titled label debut for Ripple Music. The awaited follow-up to 2018’s Seismic Vibes (review here) will be out on Oct. 7 and while I don’t see a preorder link yet, I’ll tell you flat out that I’ve gotten to know this record pretty well and if you’ve got a bell, it’s about to be rung. The track “Some Strange” — about drugs — is the first streaming audio to come from the LP and it arrives with the announcement of the Ripple signing and the album info and release date.
I’m gonna go ahead and put in my request to stream the entire thing — how’s Oct. 5 work for you? — and I’ll hopefully have more about it before then too, but it’s some of the best heavy psych I’ve heard on the Eastern Seaboard in a while. Like, maybe in the four years since their last one. So keep an eye out.
Fresh off the PR wire this morning:
New-York psych rockers SUN VOYAGER to issue new album this fall on Ripple Music ; stream first track “Some Strange” now!
New-York garage psych trio SUN VOYAGER announce the release of their self-titled sophomore album this October 7th on Ripple Music. Listen to the first single “Some Strange” now!
Ripple Music is proud to be working with New York-based heavy psych rockers SUN VOYAGER on releasing the follow-up to their revered 2018 debut ‘Seismic Vibes’. Fusing early metal influences from the comedown era with kraut jam-inspired stoner rock freakouts, you can expect plenty of groove and loads of fuzz. For fans of Kyuss desert grooves, expansive garage psych à la King Gizzard and Oh Sees, and Earthless wah-driven explorations.
About their new self-titled album, SUN VOYAGER says: “This album was one truly written as a band. We spent two years pretty much just getting together, seeing what would happen, and most of the music is pulled from wild 15-minute long voice memo jams where the three of us found the pocket and you should have been there. The lyrical themes range from impending doom to kicking ass to falling in love.” About the new single, they add: “Some Strange was the first song we wrote for the album. Proving the theory that all ya need is one big riff. This song takes you into the unrelenting chaos of the witching hour. Experiences one only encounters wandering the streets throughout the night in search of the next thrill. There’s always a new high to catch right around the corner, come on, let’s ride.”
