S/T by sunjammer

Sunjammer’s name neatly sums up its ethos: a slow unfolding South Texas groove, gently steamrolling listeners with unhurried, unfussy arrangements and deceptively sophisticated songwriting. Fellow music freaks with overflowing vinyl collections who've banded together to create a masterpiece of their own.

Their newest self-titled LP, recorded live through buzzing transistors and unspooling magnetic tape, is a refinement and distillation of all previous efforts, wiping the slate clean. A leveling up, a raising of the bar, a cohesive whole.

More than anything, it's an easy emanation -- music that just makes you feel good, no grand statements or pretentious fluff. A calling to music’s higher purpose: to have no purpose at all. The music explains itself by the feeling it shares with the listeners. To simply revel in the joy of being.

I hear echoes of familiar names: Farmer Dave’s West Coast Wizards, Lee Baggett, Woods, and more. A jam band for old punk rockers and
Spacemen 3 heads. But Sunjammer is on their own groove — it’s puro San Antonio. West Side Sound, Doug Sahm, all the greats... all rolled up and ready to smoke. Easy ride. — Bill Baird
