Sweet Trip was an American electronic/experimental rock act formed in 1993 in the Bay Area of California by musicians Valerie Cooper and Roberto Burgos.

The group was formed in 1993 by producer and songwriter Roberto Burgos when he met former band-member Viet Le at a high school talent show sign-up that summer.

According to Cooper, they were one of the first labels to show genuine interest in their work, and so the band signed on with them; songs from the cassette sent to Darla would eventually be part of the track list of their debut's album Halica: Bliss Out v.11.

[2] In 2006, Sweet Trip reunited once again, with founding member Viet Le departing; Rob Uytingco joined the band, adding live drums to their performances and recordings.

[19][20] In August 2019, Darla Records commented on a Facebook post about Velocity : Design : Comfort, announcing that the album would be printed on vinyl for the first time as a double LP in 2020.

[21] Following this, Burgos posted an update to his Twitter account, stating: "We've realized that we can't put out a VDC vinyl reissue without following up with new music, and that's an exciting realization.

[23] On November 8, 2020, Sweet Trip announced the title of their fourth album, A Tiny House, In Secret Speeches, Polar Equals, which was released digitally on May 28, 2021.

[25] On March 18, Darla Records released the compilation album Seen / Unseen, which was put together prior to Cooper's departure, and formally announced Sweet Trip's disbandment.

In a December 2020 Sonemic interview, Burgos and Cooper listed Iron Maiden, Sonic Youth, Aphex Twin, Slowdive, Led Zeppelin, the Black Dog, the Chameleons, Jean Sibelius, Broadcast, Moose, Seefeel, Michael Jackson, Cocteau Twins, 101 Strings, Glenn Miller Orchestra, My Bloody Valentine, Pale Saints and Sérgio Mendes as musical inspirations for Sweet Trip.

[12] In 2022, Stereogum noted how Sweet Trip became "as canonically important to young alt-rockers as the Pixies and Built to Spill were to previous generations" regarding the new wave of American shoegaze.
