What is "space rock"?
Space rock is a genre of rock music that emerged in the late 1960s and 1970s, characterized by its use of atmospheric, cosmic sounds and themes.

Space rock is known for its rich, layered textures and expansive arrangements, aiming to create a dreamy, immersive experience that transports listeners to a cosmic or fantastical realm.
