Celestial Vagabonds by The Upper Strata
Celestial Vagabonds is a genre-bending journey through the cosmos, blending music and storytelling in a fully immersive sci-fi, future noir, and fantasy adventure. Created by The Upper Strata, this concept album and companion graphic novel introduce a world of freedom fighters, detectives, mythical warriors, and cosmic wanderers, all connected through a shabby traveling space circus.
More than an album - it’s a cinematic soundscape inspired by classic sci-fi, film noir, and fantasy. Drawing from musical influences like Tycho, Grizzly Bear, and Slowdive, the album blends moody synth textures, pulsating beats, and spacey guitar sounds into a futuristic yet nostalgic experience.
