Delving into A Lens to the Sun’s aural universe is a rather interesting experience. You see, they are indeed a rock band, often seen amidst alt-rock territories and indie lands; yet, there’s an unusual emotional charge to their music, a hypnotising carpet of intense electronic textures and cinematic soundscapes, all converging into making A Lens to the Sun a monumental, striking outfit. ‘The Persistency of Excitation’ is the strongest evidence of that.
Marking the group’s latest album, ‘The Persistency of Excitation’ invites listeners into a long and meaningful artistic journey, one that feels bittersweet and melancholic, a sonic chiaroscuro that becomes a rewarding constant throughout the record. A Lens to the Sun’s dynamic, expressive vocals are a perfect match for their eclectic pieces, packing the songs full of pathos and charisma. Hailing from San Diego, the group is thrilled to be releasing their first LP; just as much as we are happy to have discovered it.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the album, frontman Gideon Prior explains: “We wanted this album to feel like something delicate growing in a ruined place. Not in a nostalgic way, more like reclaiming something honest after it’s been lost”. Carving their own unique path in an overcrowded music landscape, we have no doubts about A Lens to the Sun’s ability to connect with a global audience. It will all be worth it.
