Sunward

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.
