VOYAGER ONE
Notable PRESS QUOTES
"Voyager One really hit their stride with the fuzzed-up and delirious 'Monster Zero' then followed it with 'Dissolver', one of the best space-rock records - maybe, ever. The brand new, 'Afterhours in the Afterlife' is a set that shows VO are more than willing to expand upon their (already-seismic) palette. The overall sound is bigger, incorporating more electronic trickery against the hypnotic, droning guitars of Jeramy Koepping and Peter Marchese. Opener 'Here' is the musical equivalent of that vortex that opens 'Dr. Who', with Marchese repeating: "you wonn-der..." while alien satellite signals orbit around your brain. The whole album feels like another grand slam from these Seattle 'aural-nauts', with my personal faves: 'I Remember Everything' (a stunner that almost has a roots vibe going for it) and the complex and emotional closer: 'Sine Waves'."
-Michael Pearlstein, THE BIG TAKEOVER
"Afterhours In The Afterlife is another rock-solid release.. Past Voyager One albums (this is their fifth) have always had one song that stands out way above the rest, and this time out it's "The Future Is Obsolete", which spots a Primal Scream-esque mixture of fuzz bass, driving dance beats, psychedelic synths, as well as a killer chorus. Elsewhere, the band covers a lot of ground while keeping the quality level high.. a very impressive album."
