Sun Voyager is a Garage Psych Rock trio from New York, fusing early metal influences from the comedown era with kraut jam-inspired stoner rock freakouts.
History[]
Founded in 2011 [1] the band played some gigs before starting to record their debut EP in 2012, self-releasing it through bandcamp in 2013.[2]
Their debut album was released through King Pizza Records in 2018.
Speaking about their debut album the band stated: "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."
Afterwards Sun Voyager toured a lot and started experimenting and refining their jamming facet on stage, freaking out more, grooving out more, while finding a whole new level to their sound. Rehearsals then turn into 2-hour jams.
The sound of their second album 'Sun Voyager" stems a lot from that experimentation. A mellow groove in the vein of Dead Meadow or Spacemen 3 will sometimes take off into full-blown AC/DC or slowly build as Earthless would, while a heavy swing that feels like the Allman Brothers will end up sounding like Red Fang (and vice versa).
