Stargazer

On their debut LP 'Stargazer', the large Austin-based collective channels the cosmic philosophy and experimental funk of Sun Ra into a vibrant and danceable collection. The album fuses elements of afrobeat, soul, psychedelic rock, and disco, creating a sound that is both hypnotic and rhythmically propulsive, with tracks built around heavy grooves from the full brass and percussion sections. The production captures the grandiose energy of the band's live performances, utilizing chanting vocals, interstellar synthesizer effects, and instruments like sitar and xylophone to evoke a celebratory, space-church atmosphere.
