At the time to mark its 20th anniversary, the American label Temporary Residence Ltd. – which also houses artists like Envy, Explosions in the Sky, Eluvium, Mono, and Grails – has recently reissued the outstanding and modern-classic ‘Pyramid of the Sun’ by the brilliant MASERATI pioneers of retro-futuristic (post-)rock and electronic soundscapes.
Originally released in 2010 on the same label, this deluxe vinyl edition celebrates a landmark album from one of the genre’s most visionary bands.. . Indeed, ‘Pyramid of The Sun’ has marked a radical reinvention for the band from Athens, Georgia — a shift from contemplative dynamics to relentless propulsion. It’s an album where mathy guitars and motorik rhythms collide with Krautrock grooves, shimmering synths, and interstellar atmospheres, recalling the spirit of Zombi, 65daysofstatic, Trans Am, and even LCD Soundsystem.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of instrumental rock or a newcomer drawn to the synth-heavy horizons of 65daysofstatic, Explosions in the Sky, Meniscus, sleepmakeswaves, The Mercury Program or Zombi — a, this is an album to (re)discover — loud, on vinyl, and in full below.
