The members of the Crystal Sun collective seek no individual attention or adulation. They realise that they are merely cogs in the greater machine.

The Crystal Sun have immersed themselves in the sound of late 60s psychedelia, early 70s progressive, Krautrock, 80s post-punk and indie.
But they are not interested in mere imitation. They strive to produce a new sound: a sum of their influences for the 21st Century.
They humbly offer their music for your enjoyment.
