Hailing from Dublin, Ireland, Sun Mahshene emerged in 2018, breathing new life into the Psych and Shoegaze scenes. Comprising six dynamic and diverse members from Ireland, the United Kingdom, and Poland, Sun Mahshene provides a musical journey that transcends borders and genres. ‘Post-Shoegaze’ for the masses.

Ethereal yet powerful, their songs have an unmistakable anthemic quality that captures the essence of their musical prowess.

In 2020, the band unleashed the "Contradictions & Tales of Fiction" EP, a sonic exploration that left audiences craving more. Following the EP's success, including track “Leave This City” (42k Spotify streams), next single “The Righteous One” was accompanied by a mind-bending music video, directed by award-winning visual artist Ste Murray.

Sun Mahshene next released a special LP titled "Space Echoes: The EPs", a compilation of tracks from their previously released EPs. The limited-edition vinyl sold out in a single day, a testament to the band's dedicated fan base and the allure of their music.

Having graced the stage at Electric Picnic, Ireland's largest music festival, Sun Mahshene showcased their live act with headline shows (including Whelan’s and The Workman’s Club), which solidified their presence in the hearts of music enthusiasts.

September 2023 marked the release of the single "Reverie", which immediately went on rotation on Amazing Radio UK (winning an online vote to make the playlist), BBC Radio 1, BBC Across The Line, Radio X, and across Irish radio (RTE 2FM, 98FM). The high-energy video has now reached over 20k views on YouTube.

A stirring, shimmering track, “Reverie” gives a glimpse into the sonic odyssey that awaits listeners of the highly anticipated debut LP, "A Place We've Never Been”. This promises to be a culmination of the band's artistic evolution, and was mastered by Mark Gardener (Ride / OX4 Sound). His expertise at the controls sets the stage for the album to captivate music fans in summer 2024.
