"Manchester's finest exponents of goggle-eyed space rock." —City Life
Forming as a duo and growing to five members by 2007, Sundowner's sound has grown up from humble beginnings to a formidable live act. Vast drifting guitar-scapes, powerful rhythms and vocals combine to form a big, cosmic, shape-shifting sound that explores all realms of space rock and travels effortlessly between from atmospheric jams through epic songs and driving kraut sessions. Though laced with a liberal dose of psychedelia, Sundowner always keeps the overall sound intensely modern.
"We must let sounds be what they are", says founder Matt Morris. "We want to continue to push the envelope and as much as possible, make music that inspires feelings of genuine awe."
Becoming disgruntled with their home city's live venue cartel, the band decided to start their own regular live night. "Attention All Shipping" has become a vehicle for new bands from around the world to showcase their work. In 2005 Sundowner recorded music for a number of film projects, including Splintered, a thriller being aired at Cannes.
2007 saw the release of their self-titled debut album, Sundowner. Whittled down from hours and hours of improvised "jams" and crafted into "songs", the album is tightly produced but remains loose enough to be an exciting listen.
