(2021) The Sun or the Moon – Cosmic


Review:
The four-piece band The Sun or the Moon has been in existence since 2019. On their debut album Cosmic, the experienced musicians combine their joy of experimentation and creativity to realise their psychedelic space lounge sound. Sprawling and inspiring, the band weaves a hypnotic sound that lets the listener dive deep into the created cosmos. The Sun or the Moon is a powerfully creative new psychedelic Krautrock group currently emerging in Germany. Inspired by Can, Kraftwerk, early Pink Floyd, and Radiohead, the band has developed an expansive, brilliant, non-mainstream sound that dives deeply into the psyches of eclectic and intelligent listeners. Band members Frank Incense (vocals, bass, baritone guitar, guitar, electric sitar, electronics, keyboards), George Nowak (guitar, theremin, flute), Susanne Baum (keyboards), and Niclas Ciriacy (drums and percussion) have already released the singles “Cosmic”/“Julia Dream” and “Trippin’ on Mars”/“Quicksand,” . Like musicians all over the world, The Sun or the Moon has seen its career trajectory altered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Since live gigs are out, the group has concentrated on writing and recording. Streaming platforms have replaced concert stages for the time being but the group is fueled by a true love of making this music and is determined to reach its fans by any means necessary. Listeners intrigued by the sounds of analog electronics, modular synths, guitars, and drums working together to attain new worlds need to discover The Sun or the Moon immediately. This is what the future sounds like.
