Sun Pump, a new trio of psychedelic warriors featuring Nate Zabriskie, Ross Oldenburg, and Kendraplex, debuts on FPE Records with "Disassembly", a creeping nighttime journey in an altered state. Put this one on your potluck playlist, right between Anton Lavey's "Honolulu Baby" and that one Tool track with the Art Bell sample.
Zabriskie pounds out a lurching rhythm on kit while Kendra and Oldenburg build a synth menace from low rumbles, metallic whooshes, and a smiling, cavorting banjo/harp kind of sound. Grunts ensue as the tide comes in, climaxing at an uneasy peak and suddenly dissipating like fog that recedes with the dawn.

The new LP from Perth’s Erasers is utterly magnificent: stark, Kraftwerk-ian synths humming ominously against eerie, dead-eyed vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 23, 2019
Cool, controlled electronic music that relies on a steady bass pulse, tiny ripples of synth, and delicate vocal lines. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 28, 2018
