Sun Atlas [10" Ep]

Sun Atlas - Sun Atlas [10" Ep]

Mythical "lost" EP from LA-based outernational psych & spiritual jazz collective, now on vinyl for the first time.
Right after their celebrated debut single, Sun Atlas recorded material for a potential full length - the 8 gems you find on this 10" EP. A dozen acetates were cut for DJs to test rough mixes in the wild, album concepts were made and then the pandemic changed plans. People relocated, the line-up evolved and the project was shelved in favor of new recordings that became their acclaimed debut album "Return To The Spirit".
Unpolished and intuitive, these unreleased "acetate mixes" contain a magical spark. These 8 tunes are full of twangy guitars, otherworldly organs, lo-fi synths, big horns and dope drums, a wild mix of breakin' funk, cinematic soul, outernational jazz, surf and garage. Sun Atlas would later refine their style - here is the chance to experience them as a rough diamond.
