Sun Raven – Anam Cara
Independent
Release: 23 February 2026
Australian Experimental Progressive Rock project Sun Raven serves as the chameleonic solo vehicle for the untethered imagination of multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Stephen Murray. Sun Raven’s third full-length release “Anam Cara” is the most experimental yet. This expansive collection explores vast soundscapes that blur the lines between genres to take the listener on a journey deep into the sonic realm.
Sun Raven’s instrumental compositions achieve a strength greater than the sum of their parts by incorporating a mosaic of interwoven inspirations from atmospheric, groove-heavy progressive, post-rock and experimental, alternative, jazz and psychedelia. Hypnotic, dense and cinematic, “Anam Cara” is a strange attractor sure to appeal to fans of everything from John Carpenter and Mogwai to Russian Circles, Tool and Godspeed! You Black Emperor. Heavy guitars awash in sludgy distortion coalesce with dream-like reverbs and beautiful soundscapes to create the perfect soundtrack for creative thinking.
“Anam Cara” is available now on digital platforms.

Press Quotes:
“Sun Raven returns with a new record that blends both of his most pertinent styles, bringing together elements of alternative and progressive rock, with hints of edgy overtone, gritty guitar work, and that heavy rock backbone, along with the smooth, cinematic, and vast tonalities that he brings to the table as well.” -Buzzslayers
