About Chris Forsyth & The Solar Motel Band

Chris Forsyth spent years in New York's experimental and improvised music scenes, including a period taking guitar lessons from Television's Richard Lloyd, before settling in Philadelphia. The Solar Motel Band takes its name from his 2013 album Solar Motel, released on Paradise of Bachelors, and grew into a working group built to play that material live.

Chris Forsyth & The Solar Motel Band work from simple riffs and slow-building grooves, letting a piece run until the guitars find a peak. Records such as Intensity Ghost and The Rarity of Experience pushed toward a fuller rock band sound with vocals appearing alongside the long instrumentals, and the band's shows tend to stretch songs well past their recorded length.
