Light/flux

"Bridging the gap between heavy riff-worship and expansive, free-jazz experimentation alongside perfectly timed outbursts of psychedelic spontaneity is no easy task, but Copenhagen's Mythic Sunship embrace every facet of that challenge with an awe-inspiring ease ... Light/Flux is a much more composed and reflective output compared to the band's 2021 release Wildfire, but it still rips up the rule book as the Scandinavian maestros insatiable appetite for viscerally bold expressionism continues to guide their musical journey".

"Danish free rockers Mythic Sunship explore the space that links psychedelic sprawl and spaced-out jazz. Chaotic saxophone playing and dialed-in, Krautrock-informed rhythms have been the baseline of the band's formula since they began in the early 2010s, and as they've grown, they've added elements of doomy riffing, proto-metal sludge, and collective improvisation to the mix. Light/Flux takes Mythic Sunship down paths that are new to them but always circles back to the sound they've perfected: that of an asteroid hurtling through the cosmos as it burns ... The ten-minute shuffle of "Decomposition" is one of several tracks on Light/Flux that branches out from the Krautrock/doom metal/space jazz template that Mythic Sunship minted. The album's roots rock undertones and auburn-colored jamming give it a more human feel than much of their earlier catalog ... But even the would-be mellow jams eventually gain momentum, ratcheting up the intensity if not the volume for an experience just as out there as any of the band's more in-your-face performances".

"Man leder forgæves efter lyrikken hos Mystic Sunship, men der er noget hypnotiserende, nærmest vanedannende over bandets instrumentale, repetitive syrerock".
