“Wandering alone in the desert, treading thru the soft solitary night, crystalline silence of the mind, impenetrable as an atom, stars shining down bright, the heavenly light surrounds you completely. You are nowhere. The Lunar Sludge Band plays all night long forever and ever, they’re always changin, people always comin and goin and comin back again. But the band plays on long after we’re gone. “
This is a bio that introduces the band on their Bandcamp page, and I’m unsure whether it should be serious or humorous. Still, I found it interesting, as well as the description of the release. I am sharing it in full, and you judge it yourself.

It may be a cryptic message, and you should try to find the hidden meaning behind it; perhaps it’s a fun little description the band made to spice it up.
The band also shared that the song “Sunshine” is about “expressing love to those close to you can never go wrong!” and added that “this song is an ode to appreciating all our favorite people, and we hope you groove to it.”
They have also sent a little quote about Automatic Love: “I am open to love, but struggling to find it. We hope this song allows for that understanding of a search for romance in an ever-changing world.”
The songs are like two sides of the same coin, both slackerish lo-fi rock, but the Sunshine is more energetic, and Automatic Love is more laid-back and dreamy. They are complementing each other and are working perfectly on the release. The band demonstrates that they are capable of taking both approaches, and I thoroughly enjoyed their latest offering. The lo-fi, sometimes fuzzy, warm sound was somehow nostalgic for me and yet still refreshing.
Review the entire description of the release on Bandcamp, including the credits. You can find some other amusing gems. I am glad The Lunar Sludge Band has reached out to us with these gems, and I enjoyed the profound love and friendship topics of the song, accompanied by humorous descriptions. It makes the music lighter and more enjoyable.
I have been playing these two tracks on repeat to fully immerse myself in them, and they have been growing on me. I am interested in what the band will make next, but I have been enjoying these new songs.
