Spectra Spirit by Sisters of Your Sunshine Vapor

Our second album, Spectra Spirit, is dark, heavy, a bit menacing, and a strong step forward from our self-titled album.

"The new album finds our heroes in full-on swagger and menace mode, disposing of the incense and lava lamps for the wafts of a hookah and bonfires. They’re neither here to mess around nor waste your time. Highest recommend.", Trip Inside This House, Nov. 8, 2011

"If nothing more, Spectra Spirit works for us as a crashing confirmation of the howling, heavy sound that first drew us to this infectious Vapor. But the album is something more – its ferocity more focused, its chakras more aligned, its slithering, sin-with-a-grin, serpentine-shake more singular, yet no less sinister." -- Revolt of the Apes, Nov. 14, 2011

"From the Eastern-tinged opener “Untitled” followed by the slithering, doomy “Black Mind” to the meditative “The Hole in Your Brain” and the salacious three-chord garage stomp of “Live in My Mind,” Spectra Spirit showcases a talented young band with fresh skills, ideas and the ability to execute them exceedingly well." -- Christopher Chrobak, Grand Rapids Music Examiner, Dec. 1, 2011

"Ένας Jim Morrison στα πιο νεκρώσιμά του τραγουδάει μέσα από μία σπηλιά και οι Black Angels τον συνοδεύουν σε φευγάτες συνθέσεις βουτηγμένες στη fuzz-αριστή κιθάρα, το fuzz-αριστό μπάσο, τα fuzz-αριστά πλήκτρα (ναι, διάολε, μέχρι και τα τύμπανα ακούγονται μέσα στο fuzz!)." -- Rocking. gr (Greece), Jan. 18, 2012

"Cabe aqui um comentário curioso sobre o Spectra Spirit. É o relato de meu brother Robson, uma das mentes por detrás do The Concept. Robson foi um dos que adentraram de cabeça nas viagens lascivas do SOYSV e passou suas férias praianas de final de ano sob o sol escaldante de nosso litoral, literalmente fritando sob a trilha sonora de Spectra Spirit (local inusitado pra psicodelia dark e ruidosa dos caras). Segundo meu querido Robson, a experiência psicotrópica do SOYSV aplicada em nossas praias pode ter um resultado altamente produtivo pra expansão da mente e derivações." -- FLOGA-SE (Brazil), Feb. 7, 2012

"The second album by this Detroit outfit, Spectra Spirit is a moody dark psych opus with excellent use of drones, buzzing, multilayered, textural guitars, creepy sounding organs and in Sean Morrow, a confident vocalist who is a prime distillation of Jim Morrison and Ian Astbury, without the melodrama of the former or the grandiose nature of the latter." -- The Active Listener (New Zealand), June 26, 2012
