The Solar Motel Band have developed a reputation as an incredible live act, provoking ecstatic comparisons to visionary artists such as Television, The Grateful Dead, Popol Vuh, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, and Richard Thompson.

The volatile chemistry of the Solar Motel Band is evidenced on their Solar Live 10.15.13 LP (Electric Ragtime), recorded live in Philadelphia and released in spring 2014.

Intensity Ghost, the first studio album by Chris Forsyth & the Solar Motel Band was released to universal acclaim in October 2014 on the No Quarter label.  It’s been named one of the best releases of 2014 by Uncut (#34) and the New Yorker.  Aquarium Drunkard called it “pure unadulterated guitar heaven – classic rock remade.” The Quietus said, “It’s just immense.”

The double album The Rarity of Experience (No Quarter), was released in March 2016 and raves have been universal. Pitchfork called it “a near-perfect balance between 70s rock tradition and present day experimentation,”
