Chris Forsyth & the Solar Motel Band

"Solar Motel is some kind of masterpiece, a suite of ecstatic, spiritual psychedelia that splits the difference between unabashed classic rock thrills and a spikey avant-garde sense of adventure."—Aquarium Drunkard

Vanguard guitarist and composer Chris Forsyth’s breakthrough album Solar Motel blew everyone away with its deft synthesis of widescreen art-rock textures with vernacular American influences, evoking fervid comparisons to iconic guitar-driven bands and artists such as Television, Robert Quine, John Fahey, Popol Vuh, and Glenn Branca. Now with his newly formed four-piece Solar Motel Band and their recently released debut studio album Intensity Ghost for No Quarter Records, Forsyth furthers his embrace of a broad spectrum of sound and influences while crafting a wholly original approach that combines giant crunching riffs, incisive hooks you just can’t resist, and sweeping sonic vistas. Live, their ever-exploratory cinematic music achieves lift-off instantly, burning brightly into the night.
