Sunset Cliffs is the first Fonya album since 1992 s Wanderers of the Neverending Night to feature vocals, this time by Chris Fournier himself. As with many space-rock bands, the vocals are not the focus and are kept low in the mix and heavily reverbed. Instrumentally, the gradual shift toward a more guitar-oriented sound continues, though of course there are still plenty of synths. Newcomers however should start with Earth Shaper , Perfect Cosmological Principle , or Upper Level Open Space .
