ABOUT SUN ATOMS AND ‘EVERYTHING FOREVER’:
Portland psychedelic gaze-wave outfit Sun Atoms present their sophomore album ‘Everything Forever’, released via Little Cloud Records. Meticulously crafted with cosmic energy, their magnum opus features notable guest appearances by Modest Mouse’s Isaac Brock, Jasno Swarez of The Vandelles and Lauren Andino of TREMOURS, amongst others. This sophomore album realizes the promise that was there in the debut not only musically, but in a sacred sense. This album gets between the ears, then heads south down past the brain and into the heart.
Sun Atoms is made up of vocalist Jsun Atoms (The Upsidedown, Daydream Machine), producer and bassist Peter G. Holmström (The Dandy Warhols, Pete International Airport), multi-instrumentalist June Kang, saxophonist-trumpeter-guitarist Mars de Ponte (LoveBomb Go-Go), drummer Eric Rubalcava and guitarist Derek Spencer Longoria-Gomez (Hi Hazel).
Homström and iconic mixing engineer Jagz Kooner had just finished The Dandy Warhols’ latest album, generating an extraordinary symbiosis. Credited with creating some of the most genre-defining songs of the last 30 years, Jagz Kooner began his career working with Andrew Weatherall, remixing and producing for the likes of Bjork, The Chemical Brothers and New Order, as well as mixing for Primal Scream, Massive Attack, Oasis, Garbage and Killing Joke. With Pete producing and Jagz mixing in one of the greatest marvels of prehistoric Britain (Avebury Henge) at Jagz’s Stone Circles Studios, the pair elevated the songs by pushing the sonic envelope out into the great abyss. The coup de grace was having Keith Tenniswood (Spiritualized, Death in Vegas) master the album at Curve Pusher UK.
A genre-defying fusion of psychedelic rock and indie pop, Sun Atoms push the boundaries of their own sonic exploration. Their debut album ‘Let There Be Light’ (2021), mixed by producer Stephen Street (Blur, The Smiths, The Cranberries), also involved The Black Angels’ Alex Maas, The Vandelles’ Jasno Swarez and Gregg Williams (Sheryl Crow, Blitzen Trapper).
In 2024, Sun Atoms played a series of sold-out concerts with Dinosaur Jr., crowning the list of shows they have played with Fishbone, Modest Mouse, Federale, Besnard Lakes, The Veldt, New Candys and TREMOURS. They’ve also shared the stage with the likes of Ty Segall, A Place to Bury Strangers, Neko Case, Built to Spill, Allah Las, Broncho and Night Beats.
