While bands usually require an element of compromise between its members, solo projects allow a musician to fully express their vision and draw from all facets of their life to make a representation of themselves in musical form. Take Stephen Lacy Sullivan, guitarist in post-metal band Alluvion and former drummer in Virginia sludge metal band Lord - his eponymous solo work is several steps removed from the aforementioned bands. Drawing from indie, gospel, and lo-fi electronica, the upcoming début release under the new name* showcases Sullivan focusing in on his faith on Portion in the Sky.
Lead single “Testimony” starts proceedings off on a relatively mellow note, pairing playful guitar work influenced by Townes van Zandt against the uhn-tiss of electronic drums, and Sullivan’s own strained tones on top. “I’ll disappear in your glory tonight,” he delivers in a melodic drawl, as one of many choice lyrics touching on Christianity throughout the record.
As we move further into the record, certain left-field elements emerge unexpectedly - turntable scratching in Lady Erin, unconventional percussion in “Within Reach” - but the cherry on the surprise-laden cake is the dark “Consuming Fire”, where tortured synths resemble screaming, and Sullivan practically snarls in his delivery to match the fire-and-brimstone style sermon that is chopped up and remixed into the meat of the track.
Portion in the Sky is a new chapter in Sullivan’s musical development, and one which will surely pique the interest of those who enjoy such genre-melding exercises - if 90s indie meets lo-fi electronica is of interest, then these 20 minutes are absolutely worth your time.

13 years. 9 albums. Royal Chant get around. Royal Chant (often abbreviated as RC) is an Australian indie rock band formed in 2009 in the small coastal town of Port Macquarie. The band has made frequent personnel changes but has always maintained the presence of principal songwriter & singer/guitarist Mark Spence. Taking his initial songwriting cues from Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Robert Pollard, Shane MacGowan, & Michael Stipe (to name just a few), Royal Chant's extensive songbook contains trace elements of Sonic Youth, GBV, the early proto-punk of Idlewild, and basically anything with heart, a good melody, and a fuzz pedal or two. Of course the Beatles are lurking in there somewhere as well, all thrown together over the years into a fuzz-box blender and fused with a blue-collar work ethic, good manners, and an odd penchant for being on time and reading the worksheet before live shows.

The current line-up consists of Mark on guitar (or baritone guitar) and vocals and Wade Mobbs behind the drums, with guitarist and multi-instrumentalist James Carthew remaining a contributing member of the band both on record and on stage despite living and designing killer space robots in Ann Arbour, Michigan in the U-S-of-A. The band has recently added bassist Arkhea Mobbs to the line-up as well now that live shows are slowly starting to resume in the post-COVID wasteland of live entertainment. The band is hard at work finding the perfect fuzz tone for their 9th studio LP, "Anyways and also sorry", set for launch on May 20th, 2022.
