Sun Reflector is the debut LP collaboration by Heffernan (Ivan The Tolerable, All Structures Align, King Champion Sounds, University Challenged) and Pärk (Black Tempel Pyramid, Teeth Of Glass, Kosmonaut). Sun Reflector is steeped in a haze of primitive drum machines, fanned phase and sustained scuzz-rippled guitar chimes, an ambient electronic creation with emphasis on repetitive trance-inducing rhythmic pulsations of electronic sound and subtle counterpoints that slowly unfold as the rhythmic drive marches forth utilizing the Motorik 4/4 beat with the lysergic kosmische sonic textures of Cluster. With Heffernan (bass, guitars and drones) based in the Northeast of England and Pärk (synths, drones and loops) based in Colorado USA on the border with New Mexico -- the portal they opened up between these environments creates a travelogue that unites physical and inner space, a series of trance induced states rendered in vivid color, a delirious portal into the ether. "Harmonic Coast" opens and is a heady downtempo affair, an earthly vibration that slips effortlessly between peyote peaking trekking trips and Balearic sunset vibes. The somnambulistic drift of "The Sun" sets the stage with a series of shimmering, circular synth pulses where hidden details slowly emerge over multiple listens. Album closer "Fever Mirage" creates a clear-eyed appreciation of the pastoral beauty that surrounds us, it's a journey that summons up an occult-like dream of glacial arpeggios and whispering synths that pull your attention in to this hypnotizing listening experience. Sun Reflector is a collective sound in which a lot is allowed, and a lot is done. That combined with the compositional ingenuity where the heterogeneous timbres create a time travelled cosmic mysticism that summons up the spirits and visions of Harmonia, Cluster, Eno, and Phillip Glass. Shimmering and transcendent we present to you for your listening experience Sun Reflector.
