The Sun Or The Moon - Andromeda (2023)

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.
In der Band THE SUN OR THE MOON aus dem Rhein-Main-Gebiet haben sich im Spätsommer 2019 vier experimentierfreudige und kreative Musiker zusammengefunden, um ihre von Bands wie Can, Kraftwerk, frühen Pink Floyd und Radiohead inspirierten Soundvorstellungen zu verwirklichen. Das Quartett hat bereits zwei digitale Singles auf den gängigen Streaming-Portalen veröffentlicht und arbeitet zur Zeit intensiv an der Fertigstellung ihres Debüt-Albums. Ihre Musik bezeichnen die vier Musiker Frank Incense (Gesang, Bass, Bariton Gitarre, elektrische Sitar, Modularsynthesizer), George Nowak (Gitarre, Theremin, grüne Flöte), Susanne Baum (Piano und Keyboards) und Niklas Ciriacy (Schlagzeug und Perkussionsinstrumente) als psychedelische Space Lounge Music. Über einem elektronischen Fundament aus repetitiven Maschinen-Beats und mit einem Modularsystem erzeugten Klangteppichen entwickeln The Sun or the Moon hypnotische und gleichwohl tanzbare Tracks mit Einflüssen aus Kraut Rock, Psychedelic und Space Rock.
