Turn And Wave
April 23, 2025
Roaring Sun is the Folk Rock & Cosmic Country project of Austin-based songwriter Larry Llodra. On the debut album Turn and Wave, arriving late Spring 2025, Roaring Sun blends introspective folk with the expansive energy of soul and classic rock. The result is a collection of songs that ache with vulnerability and soar with grandeur, guided by Llodra’s well-honed songwriting and producer Bob Hoffnar’s lush, cosmic twang. It’s a journey through life’s wreckage and redemption, evoking Blood on the Tracks filtered through Big Star’s intimacy, with echoes of Gram Parsons’ tender, haunted voice.
Recorded live over five days at Cedar Creek Studios, Turn and Wave captures the raw energy of unfiltered performances. Featuring an ensemble of musicians with credits spanning Fiona Apple, k.d. Lang, Black Pumas, and Polyphonic Spree, the album eschews modern polish for organic immediacy. No click tracks, no overcorrection—just vibrant, authentic songs that pulse with life, capturing raw moments from the redemptive journey toward self-acceptance.
