Ancient Of The Ancients

Daughters of the Sun is a Minnesota-based psychedelic project that headlined our very own KZSU Frühling Fest! They are known for their elaborate sophisticated sound which incorporates reverb-drenched guitars and vox, layered percussion, and amazing manipulated found-sound recordings. This album is a rip of a limited-edition cassette released by Moon Glyph Records and contains their lengthiest pieces to date.

1. Starts with the gentle sound of running water. Wordly flutes and gently warbling synthesizer gradually enter the mix and blend in a warm lazy haze. 8 minutes in, the piece again gains some momentum with assorted percussion, buzzy Moog and a whirlwind of distorted guitars.

2. Begins with a jolting art-rock jam with crashing percussion, muffled vocals and wild keyboard. 5 minutes in it melts down into a dark drone piece and then abruptly transitions into a gentle landscape of keyboards and tinkling windchimes. This soft melody later transitions into a gentle ambient piece with lovely flutes and gently shimmering “cosmic” synthesizer.
