Mythic Sunship was formed in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2010, choosing their name by mashing together the titles of two classic free jazz albums, Sun Ra's Of Mythic Worlds and John Coltrane's Sun Ship. Choosing a far more distorted reading on the astral traveling of those jazz greats, the band applied traditional hard rock instrumentation to loosely structured jams. Made up of guitarists Emil Thorenfeldt and Kasper Stougaard Andersen, bassist Rasmus Cleve Christensen, and drummer Frederik Denning, Mythic Sunship at times took on an almost punk level of crudeness in their approach to spiritually enlightened free music. Their first releases came in the form of limited cassettes and CD-Rs on various DIY labels. They began a relationship with the El Paraiso label with the release of their first wide-scale album, Ouroboros, in 2016. That album was followed by Land Between Rivers not even a full year later, and 2018 saw the release of not one but two new records from Mythic Sunship, the spacy Upheaval and the more frenetic double-album Another Shape of Psychedelic Music.
