NEWS

· Greetings! Our LP, DIVERS is available via Lovers Weekend Records

We are delighted to report it was nominated for a 2023 Grammy award for Best Recording Package.

You can find our most comprehensive list of releases, available for listening and purchasing, at our Bandcamp site. We plan to add new tracks there occasionally, so if you like, you can get updates in your rss reader using this link: soporus bandcamp feed.

· We host a monthly streaming radio show, called "Tired Sounds w/ Soporus," on Great Circles radio. We typically play selections from recent and older ambient and related albums that we find interesting and inspiring. The show airs live from 4-6pm ET on the first Sunday of each month, and shows are archived on SoundCloud here.

· Additionally, our previous physical-media releases, including our full-length album, 24,110, remain available on cd and/or cassette through Burnt Toast Vinyl and finer independent record stores. We are also interested in playing live in the Northeastern US region. We dig non-traditional venues, so if you would like to host us in your gallery/coffeeshop/warehouse/etc, please get in touch.
