Surya Kris Peters to Release Viva Galaxia This Friday
Keeping things moving right along as he follows up on 2025 outings from his soon-to-be-live-incarnated project Fuzz Sagrado and the defunct Samsara Blues Experiment (a collection of material from well before they were defunct), Christian Peters has put word out of a new release under his solo banner — or one of them; there have been a couple and Fuzz Sagrado started as a solo-project and why you gotta categorize everything anyway, man??? — Surya Kris Peters. Produced and recorded by Peters in Brazil, Viva Galaxia promises a gamut run through influences new and old, and given the productive streak Peters is on (he’s got more coming, reportedly), I believe it.
The good news is it’s not a long wait to take the trip. Viva Galaxia is out this Friday, Aug. 15, as a digital release, with physical to follow. Nothing up from the record yet:
Surya Kris Peters new album “Viva Galaxia” is a rich tapestry of musical influences, blending sounds from across decades and continents.
Drawing deeply from the 70s German Krautrock scene – think Ashra & Manuel Göttsching, Michael Rother, Popol Vuh and Tangerine Dream – it also pays homage to English Prog, especially the atmospheric stylings of Mike Oldfield and Pink Floyd. Adding to the mix are vibrant global inspirations like India’s Ananda Shankar, Japan’s Osamu Kitajima and Isao Tomita, and Turkey’s Erkin Koray.
Modern textures weave through the album as well, with echoes of My Sleeping Karma, Ozric Tentacles, God Is An Astronaut, and even touches of 80s Synthwave and 90s Trance. Much like its predecessor, this release is packed with soaring guitar solos reminiscent of Peters’ former band, Samsara Blues Experiment. And this time, the Indian music influence makes a powerful return.
The only question is: Is your third eye open?
