Sun Atlas (10in) (Ep)

Mythical 'lost' EP from LA-based outernational psych & spiritual jazz collective, now on vinyl for the first time.Right after their celebrated debut single, Sun Atlas recorded material for a potential full length - the 8 gems you find on this 10' EP. A dozen acetates were cut for DJs to test rough mixes in the wild, album concepts were made and then the pandemic changed plans. People relocated, the line-up evolved and the project was shelved in favor of new recordings that became their acclaimed debut album 'Return To The Spirit'.Unpolished and intuitive, these unreleased 'acetate mixes' contain a magical spark. These 8 tunes are full of twangy guitars, otherworldly organs, lo-fi synths, big horns and dope drums, a wild mix of breakin' funk, cinematic soul, outernational jazz, surf and garage. Sun Atlas would later refine their style - here is the chance to experience them as a rough diamond.Tracklisting:A1. PhantomA2. AcapulcoA3. Waiting for the FunA4. SuperduperB1. Mosquito SongB2.
