Back In Stock

Sunwatchers drew a line in the sand with their last album II, a powerful statement of the band’s unique brand of spiritual, free-rock, gonzo attitude and a progressive socio-political worldview. Illegal Moves is their latest dispatch and second album for Trouble In Mind. Illegal Moves is the band’s most potent blend yet; a heady potion of free-jazz, psychedelia, punk and noise rock that is both tender and ferocious; the perfect soundtrack to smash capitalism and fix our broken system thru sonic catharsis and revolution. Songs like Everybody Play and standout track Beautiful Crystals insinuate themselves into your brain space with the rubbery synchronicity of bassist Peter Kerlin and drummer Jason Robira, slyly busking for your attention with an appealing melody before rounding onto a sour note, as if to remind the listener that both ugliness and beauty are necessary to the communal human experience.

The songs on Illegal Moves crackle with an energy informed by passionate disgust of the status quo, realized on the album cover by Scott Lenhardt's Mort Drucker-esque illustration of the Kool-Aid Man battling the personifications of evil from across the world. A psychedelicized avatar for the general wrath and action that they believe in. For fans of Guerilla Toss, Albert Ayler, Horse Lords, Sun City Girls, John Zorn, Sonny Sharrock and 75 Dollar Bill.
