There are moments of silent depth in which the winter of the scalpel of meaning and the spring of the sound-born, unleashed body look upon the world fully present…
Water is the Sun is the inevitable union of Mkl Anderson (Drekka), and Adam Parks(Timber Rattle / Lightning White Bison). Together they play an alchemical amalgam of their primary projects, resulting in cinematic / landscape textures that give slow birth to psyche-pastorals and intoned ritual songs; a music as informed by the devotional chants of West Coast cults and Appalachian hymns as it is by the dark new age and ambient resonance of the experimental scene that has embraced and supported both musicians for many years.
Join us for the release of their debut album – Ritual Fever – with its dual reference to an ecstatic state connected with nature, and an anxious lack in the context of modern-day alienation.
The album is recorded – as the live set is performed – with old tape machines, keyboards and field-/found-recordings; materials and instruments with capabilities and limitations which keep Water Is The Sun’s offering grounded in the physicality of playing music that is rooted in a celebratory world of sound.
Ritual Fever will be released on March 21st, 2026 on Trome Records, UK and Tocco Magico, IT.
