Transcendental outernational funk and psychedelic jazz from mystery L.A.- based collective Sun AtlasLittle is known about Sun Atlas. The group members are hidden behind masks and costumes to keep their identities secret and to put the focus entirely on the music and oneness. A sense of community and universal spirit as an alternative to idolization and individualism is heavily reflected in their eclectic musical style.The sound of Sun Atlas is mystical and cosmopolitan, combining afrobeat, cinematic soul, spiritual & ethio jazz with space sounds, hip hop-breaks, and a garage funk vibe.Their cryptic first 45 single 'The Mystic Parade' b/w 'Grand Theft' sold out immediately after release and has often been mistaken for either 'lost' hip hop samples, 70s habibi funk or another project in disguise from the inner circles of the Mocambo, Big Crown or Daptone families (which it is not).'Return To The Spirit' picks up where Sun Atlas' first single left off, with everyone wondering where the journey might lead. With the door to a colorful universe opened, the full-length format gives time & space for further exploration.The limited first vinyl edition comes in black vinyl in a deluxe handmade tip-on sleeve.Tracklisting:A1.
