Setting Sun

Setting Sun (prolific songwriter Gary Levitt) will release his latest record, Fantasurreal, June 1st on Young Love Records. The fourth full-length from New York State's leading indie folk pioneer, Fantasurreal finds Setting Sun exploring new, more electronic territory than his previous full-lengths. The end result is energetic indie electro-folk textured with brilliantly-solid chugging drums, swirling electronics, haunting strings, careful production with beautiful trumpet arrangements creating a record that exists somewhere between Beck's most insular moments and the giddy excitement of MGMT, simultaneously undercutting the vitality with raw, emotive vocals and lyrics that channel Bright Eyes or Elliott Smith. "This was the easiest record I've ever made," says Levitt. "It felt natural to come home to my studio and let these songs pour out while embracing some solitude that is so hard to find on tour. It was a big catharsis and a great way to ease back into my life."

"Immediately alluring, offering an inviting closeness in the whisper and croon of his honest lyrics." - NPR
