Sunwatchers 'Oh Yeah?'

Fourth album from New York psych-rock four piece Sunwatchers out now from Trouble in Mind Records

Sunwatchers are a four-piece band from New York, who are the most potent mix of musical influences from a broad spectrum. Mixing funk, free jazz, prog, rock and punk into a cauldron of non-conformity, Sunwatchers harbour interests in not listening to reason and instead want to create a free-for-all of musical content.


If played loud, this is just adrenaline charging music full of character and life unlike many listeners would have heard before and yet while there is an intensity to the madness there is still a melodic mastery taking place as heard in 'Brown Ice'

The album culminates in a 19-minute closer 'The Earthsized Thumb' featuring African guitar melody before all components take hold and join together.

For all the mayhem taking place this is still the most accessible and mainstream album Sunwatchers have released, and for fans of The Flaming Lips lyric-free pieces will be a good gateway for new fans. Embrace the madness.

Oh Yeah? is out now from Trouble in Mind Records.

My thanks to One Beat PR for the release and review opportunity.
