THE ROUTE THROUGH THE CANYON

Russian band SONORA SUNRISE has been active since 2015 or thereabouts, and released their initial EP the following year. A handful of EPs and live recordings have followed since, all self released by the band to my knowledge. In 2019 they were picked up by US label Trail Records, who released their official debut album "The Route Through the Canyon".

Those who are fond of mainly instrumental psychedelic rock that includes progressive rock details and cosmic elements have one more band to consider with Sonora Sunrise. With the longer songs in particular coming across as at least partially improvised, I would consider those who enjoy music similar to what bands like Oresund Space Collective explores to be something of a key audience, especially those among them that has a desire for songs with a somewhat tighter structure and a bit stronger focus on being compelling also for a broader audience.
