Sunroof! is the project previously known as Total, who throughout the '90s recorded an abundance of noise albums that reflect the influences of guitarist and project leader Matthew Bower -- equal parts psychedelic rock and post-industrial noise collages à la
Throbbing Gristle. Under the new banner of
Sunroof! things go more in the droning psychedelia direction, with plentiful waves of corrosive guitar feedback and noise overload to the fore. With the expanded lineup including John Godbert and Neil Campbell,
Sunroof! sounds similar to Bower's previous work as Total or
Skullflower with more minimalist Indian and folk music influences. ~ Martin Walters
