About

The Sunset Strip emerged out of the vibrant 1980s indie music scene in Melbourne, Australia. The two members who've remained connected to The Sunset Strip since 1988 are Warwick Brown and Andy Turner. They had a different slant to the Detroit sound that was predominant in the Australian scene. Mining a seam of guitar-heavy music that stretched from The Byrds to Buffalo Springfield, Crazy Horse, Dinosaur Jr. and beyond. The band fell apart in 1995 with an album recorded, but unreleased. That album, 'Stone Lazy', came out in 2015 and re-energised the band to begin new recordings. The 2017 album 'Music From The Endless Sea' saw the band embrace a more electronic / psychedelic approach with nods to Krautrock and early 1970s Moog soundscapes. Diving deeper into this style the 2019 album 'Crystal Ships Infinite Arrivals' saw two long songs fill the album with hypnotic Can-like progressions and Tangerine Dream washes, along with found sound, musique concrète and lush mood pieces. These recordings were culled from edited jams and shorter pieces. A double album called 'Open City' came out in 2023, melding Tangerine Dream with The Stooges. Another album, 'Lonely Surfer' remains in the can awaiting final mixes. It harkens back to their first album's with an almost country styling and a touch of the recent electronic experimentation.
