Black Sun Ensemble

'a total eclipse of the sun, all that I am I was

About Me

"Possibly, the worlds coolest band. The Black Sun Ensemble sound totally strung out, as though they took a detour on the way from the Arizona desert and wound up in Kashmir. Mostly instrumental, their albums occasionally suggests the Velvets- "Dove of the Desert" could be "Venus in Furs" with no lyrics- or Can, but more often suggests vast quantities of hallucinogenics. The star of the proceedings is one Jesus Acedo, something of a guitar wizard, who claims on the sleeve to play electric and acoustic peacock feathers. With you, Jesus."
