Voyager is the debut album by Space Needle, released in 1995.[5][6]

Critical reception

The Orlando Sentinel called the album "mysterious, often combining lo-fi sound and mock-futuristic sound effects."[3] Guitar Player wrote that Space Needle "shoots into the astral realm with billowing feedback clusters, pulsating noise dementia, and scattershot drum grooves—like Hendrix playing the 'Star-Spangled Banner' in a Long Island basement."[7]

Paste listed Voyager as the ninth best indie rock album of 1995.[8]
