GAJOOB Review by Bryan Baker:

Sonic Journey through the Cosmos: “Supernova” by SUN (Son of Noise)

The duo known as SUN (Son of Noise), comprising Ed Drury and Chris Phinney, guides us on an ethereal journey with their album release, “Supernova”. Available on Bandcamp, this album is a testament to the duo’s ability to create immersive soundscapes that transport listeners into otherworldly dimensions.

The collaboration between Drury’s guitars and Phinney’s synths and electronics creates a harmonious blend of sounds that seems to transcend time and space. Each track takes you on a unique voyage, with Drury’s Infinite Sample Sustainer (ISS) guitar improvisations serving as the friendly companion through Phinney’s cosmic synth and electronic realms.

As veterans in creating soundscape albums, SUN (Son of Noise) showcases their expertise in this genre. The album consistently delivers a seamless mix of ambient, experimental, and electronic elements that conjure an atmosphere both tranquil and electrifying.

The standout aspect of “Supernova” lies in its ability to evoke a sense of exploration and wonder. The intricate layering of sounds creates a rich sonic texture that encourages listeners to dive deeper and lose themselves in the music. It’s like a cosmic journey where each track reveals a different celestial body or phenomenon.

“Supernova” is yet another commendable addition to SUN (Son of Noise)’s discography. Drury and Phinney have crafted a sonic journey that is as mesmerizing as the celestial phenomenon it is named after. This album is a must-listen for fans of ambient and experimental music.

Media: Digital.
