Review


Wander is the debut single from Cinematic Doomsters Suntex who breathe a classic style of Western, Folk, Psych and Alt-Metal themes into their music. The sound is quite authentic with Suntex breathing new creative life and a determined focus in the Drone/Desert Rock sound that could easily fit a classic Quentin Tarantino movie such as KILL BILL or The Hateful Eight.


The song is a great mix of Alt Rock, Folk and Doomed Out Soundscapes with lead vocalist Rachel French having an earthly approach in how the vocals are delivered. Wander is quite gloomy and american based with a healthy cinematic approach that should appeal to fans such as EARTH and 16 Horsepower.


There’s an essence of Outlaw Country Rock that appears within the lyrics and how Suntex play their music in the very later stages of the track. The band are releasing their debut album in February 2027 and this is a great sign of things to come with Suntex creating a highly atmospheric track that oozes genuine excitement and real dramatic flair when everything is said and done.


Excellent and Highly Recommended.
