Sunward
- Sound Description:
- Quirky retro-pop that is both cerebral and catchy
Founded 2002, based in Dallas, TX
Sunward first debuted in 2002 at the North Texas New Music Festival in Dallas. Merging melodic song craft with psychedelically infused sounds, Sunward’s music moves in a refreshing direction somewhere between indie-pop and space rock. While their compositions are steeped in lush, heady audioscapes painted by atmospheric violin, guitar and synthesizers, Sunward never abandons the most important element of a rock song: the melody.
