Opener Aurora sums up exactly what I just described, but also features some excellent lead guitar work from guitarists Emil Thorenfeldt and Kasper Stougaard Andersen. Spacey, desert-style, sometimes heavy instrumental rock, accentuated with saxophones flourishes, and free-jazz, psychedelic meanderings. Light/Flux, for the most part, sounds what I imagined it to prior to listening to it. I mean, as an obvious fan of heavy rock, and being open-minded to jazz, (I’m at least interested in it enough to have spent many Sunday afternoons in the sonic presence of the greats like Miles Davis and John Coltrane, as well as more obscure ‘70s artists like Idris Muhammad) I’ve been intrigued by this band for a while. I had heard of Mythic Sunship (who originally formed back in 2010, allegedly taking their name by combining the titles of Sun Ra’s Of Mythic Worlds and John Coltrane’s Sunship), but alas, with so much music to absorb, they had eluded me thus far, hence me jumping at the opportunity to review Light/Flux when I saw them show up on The Shaman’s promo list. Essentially, Mythic Sunship take the idea of free-jazz spontaneity and improv, and meld it with some psychedelic, quasi-doom, garage-ish rock, served up instrumentally, that definitely presents itself as a unique aural experience. Light/Flux finds the mind-blowingly restless as the creative band continue their journey through this unique, sonic concoction they’ve been proffering since 2017.
