Myth
Self-Released, 2024
8/10
The Russian outfit Sun Q bring a diverse set of rock ideas to these 9 tracks, where plenty of power and melody are present.
The buzzing and dense “Jane Doe” opens the record with plenty of warm, soulful singing, and “Children Singing” follows with a dreamy spirit, where the setting tosses in loud bursts of ebullient rock, too.
Halfway through, “Animals” brings strings to the dynamic climate, while “Dionysus” is an abrasive moment the even recruits grooves amid the thumping drums, thick riffs and prog-rock nods.
Arriving close to the end, “Still Searching For The Skulls” pairs the pretty, expressive singing with some fluid garage-rock sensibilities, and “Crystal Doors” exits with a hint of mystery that evolves via psychedelic stabs, blues bouts and plenty of memorable songwriting.
A truly eclectic affair that pulls from rock across the entire spectrum, you can enjoy thundering song craft, harmonic gestures, well timed brass and African percussion across this exciting listen.
