Under the Sun is an amalgamation of Mark Pritchard’s musical anthology to date. Each song evokes a different sensibility, the classic Global Communication style space voyaging of “EMS” and “Sad Alron”, can sit alongside the dark poetry and vintage avant-garde synthesis of “The Blinds Cage” with Beans from Antipop Consortium. And it makes total sense to have Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, resurgent psyche-folk hero Linda Perhacs, and the tropicalia and Beach Boys influences of Bibio all on the same record.
From Mark:
“I know, I know, it’s a big ask in these current times of everyone being
busy! But, if you get a spare 67 mins please press play and let it run.
I designed this to work as a whole experience, hoping that if people are in the
right mood, free from distractions, the music will take you somewhere else. Yes,
this could be said of any album, why this one in particular Mark? Well,
it’s just a reminder really and something that I need to remind myself of
sometimes. I hope you enjoy it.”
