The Sun or the Moon was founded in Mainz in 2019 by four adventurous and creative musicians to realize their sound inspired by the Krautrock and Psychedelic Rock of the 70s.
Using an electronic foundation of repetitive beats and electronically generated soundscapes, the band develops their hypnotic sound, which is mostly somewhere between Krautrock, relaxed Psychedelic Ambient and sprawling Acid and Prog Rock With their second album "Andromeda", the four musicians open the next chapter of their chilled journey through time and space.
The musicians again used a variety of sources of inspiration: 60s and 70s Psychedelic bands, Art and Prog Rock acts (Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree), Krautrock (Can Amon Düül), electronic pioneers (Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream), Trip Hop (Massive Attack, Portishead) as well as World Music, Jazz, New Wave and Post Punk.
The special thing about The Sun Or The Moon is how the four musicians manage to merge their diverse influences into a homogeneous whole in a relaxed way.
