Listening to Loic J Tuckey’s Beyond The Sun Road feels like embarking on a surreal road trip through the heart of the American West, where the lines between reality and dreamscape blur. As someone who revels in the fusion of Americana and psychedelic genres, this album hits all the right notes for me. Tuckey’s music weaves together twangy guitars, haunting melodies, and that unmistakable desert heat, creating a soundscape that’s as expansive and untamed as the open road itself. Tracks like “Now Then, Texas Red” and the titular “Beyond The Sun Road” perfectly encapsulate this blend, with gritty guitar lines that evoke endless highways and a sense of wanderlust. There’s a hypnotic quality to his arrangements, where elements of swampy blues and ambient jazz swirl around the core of Americana, adding depth and texture to every song. What truly stands out is the authenticity of Tuckey’s sound—each track feels like it’s been lived in, with lyrics that could only come from someone who’s traveled those dusty roads and stared down the sun. Beyond The Sun Road is more than an album; it’s a journey through a psychedelic, Americana-infused landscape that I can’t wait to revisit.
