about

‘Wild Blue Yonder’ is the first single announcing Berlin-based band Sun Ark’s upcoming self-titled album (XJazz!Music, February 2024).
 This experimental track features alto saxophonist Asger Nissen playing an otherwordly solo over a building drone improvisation by guitarist Jojo Mann and keyboardist Povel Widestrand, grounded by bassist Thorbjörn Stefansson and drummer Marius Wankel. ‘Wild Blue Yonder’ is a six-minute excerpt of a longer improvised piece that concluded the band’s recording sessions at RecPublica Studios, (Lubza, Poland), in September 2021. Just as Nissen’s low melody leads the band into increasing ecstasy, the recording suddenly slows down – as if someone had flipped a switch on a tape machine – arriving at an ethereal, slow conclusion. Sun Ark weaves together electronic, hip-hop, Brazilian and jazz influences to create a lush, colourful and orchestral sound; a sonic story with a bright, springy opening track that bends into a red-hot, experimental arc.
