Just as we were getting our heads around Tyson Dickert‘s sound, he pushes it further with his new album, An Endless Voyage on the Astral Sea.

By Graeme Smith

Tyson’s new album gives us swaggering and hypnotic classic rock, infused with psychedelia and plenty of atmosphere. There’s a throughline between in it and previous release, Beneath the Stars, We Dream of Tomorrow’s Sun, yet it also adds plenty to his sonic universe.

Right from echoing opener In the Glow of Dying Embers we get a sense of a wild expanse, a feeling that Tyson keeps ramping up across the album’s 10 tracks.

The Sky Fell and Took Us with It is wonderfully experimental moment full of surprise vocoder. Tyson really lets his pieces open up in this album, pushing them to strange new cosmic places, especially during moments like All The Hope We Once Had.

Soft shades contrast harder moments throughout. In The Days We Were One hits hard with big, relentless riffs while there’s some soft reflection in Beneath the Quiet Sky. For Those Who Taught Us Everything gives us spoken word poetry and jazzy percussion. The Last Dream closes the album with some gentleness, leaving us with the sonic equivalent of a warm embrace.

The more I hear of Tyson Dickert, the more I dig his sound. An Endless Voyage… is at once a natural evolution yet surprising remodel of his music.

The album is set for release on 6 June 2025.
