Fresh off a rebrand from The Golden Hour, Sunset Surrender reintroduces himself to the music scene, showcasing a deeper and more haunting sound with the latest single, "Lies, Lies, Lies!".

This compelling single delves into a world of personal anguish and emotional distress, drawing from raw experiences of workplace deceit and unfulfilled promises. It reflects a matured musical journey where each note and lyric resonates deeply with feelings of personal struggle and the moments of catharsis that ensue.

Crucially, "Lies, Lies, Lies!" heralds a transformative shift in Sunset Surrender's sonic landscape. While paying homage to the nostalgic undertones of his synthpop/synthwave origins, the track dives deeper into an evocative aura. The poignant lyricism of legends like Joy Division's Ian Curtis and the atmospheric touch of The Cure heavily influence this new direction.

"Lies, lies, lies, in this twisted game,
Lies, lies, lies, it's all the same,
A haunting melody, my soul's demise,
In this cold embrace, my spirit dies."

On his evolving sound, Sunset Surrender shares, "My journey is fluid, shaped heavily by the raw emotion and authenticity of bands like Joy Division and The Cure. This track isn't just a confrontation with deceit; it's also a marker of both my musical and personal evolution."

"Lies, Lies, Lies!" isn't merely a song—it's a statement, signaling the start of a new chapter for Sunset Surrender. The gripping lyrics and refined sound are poised to captivate listeners, immersing them in a narrative of deceit, despair, and, ultimately, redemption.

Lies, Lies, Lies!

Why’s the night never seem so long?
Where’s y’gone where’s your heart belong?
It was bang bang it was all bang bang.
Light up in song I was born to dance.

Every day do you feel like the world’s astray?
Every day do you feel like the world’s in vain?
So let the starts reprise to the seeker and,
give the gutter something to believe in.

And it takes a lifetime to reconcile stress.
Hold a mirror up to what the Banshee said.
You can tumble dice you can’t make it set,
So lose your mind in the midst of the dancing set.

Why’s the night never seem so long?
Where’s y’gone where’s your heart belong?
It was bang bang it was all bang bang.
Light up in song I was born to dance.

Why’s the night never seem so long?
Where’s y’gone where’s your heart belong?
It was bang bang it was all bang bang.
Light up in song I was born to dance.

Each day does a figurine fall away?
Each day does the wind’s sincerity sway?
Let the snowbird sing, dusk ‘til dawn,
And let the soiree fall until a baby’s born.

The ceiling is ripe and it’s ten-pins tall.
Commoners dream to feel the power of it all.
I see those who are thirsty can’t seem to pour.
I want to be something but want to be adored.

Why’s the night never seem so long?
Where’s y’gone where’s your heart belong?
It was bang bang it was all bang bang.
Light up in song I was born to dance.

Why’s the night never seem so long?
Where’s y’gone where’s your heart belong?
It was bang bang it was all bang bang.
Light up in song I was born to dance.

Why’s the night never seem so long?
Where’s y’gone where’s your heart belong?
It was bang bang it was all bang bang.
Light up in song I was born to dance.

Why’s the night never seemed so long?
Where’s y’gone where’s your heart belong?
It was bang bang it was all bang bang.
Black Country slang is where we like to dance.

Bang Bang

Debut EP from Edinburgh five piece, waverley.

Not Hoping

Imagine yourself spinning in a slow dance with your sweetheart on the beach and confessing your love to her under warm and cheerful reggae.

“Smile if you wanna smile, cry if you wanna cry, Just be around, be around, be around…,” - the chorus conveys a sense of spiritual and artistic liberation. 

All-consuming and breathtaking love, it is impossible to run away from it and you don’t want to. Good old reggae, only in a modern way. It pays tribute to the Bob Marley heritage and “Sunshine Reggae” by Laid Back.

LYRICS
Knock knock knocking on your door
You open and the life is sweet, oh Lord
Cause every time you're not around, it’s emptiness 
But when you're near, it's always summer, blessedness

When you're not around my heart is beating so slow
And I could die, I could die, I could die, I could die, I could die, I could die 
When you're not around this world is being so hard
And we could blow, we could blow, we could blow, we could blow, we could blow, we could blow
Smile if you wanna smile, cry if you wanna cry
Just be around, be around, be around, be around, be around, be around
Dance if you wanna dance, but darling give me a chance
Cause I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

Lord, Lord, Lord, I'm begging Lord
You let me be her man, don't break my heart
Cause every time she's not around, it’s emptiness 
But when she's near, it's always summer, blessedness

When you're not around my heart is beating so slow
And I could die, I could die, I could die, I could die, I could die, I could die 
When you're not around this world is being so hard
And we could blow, we could blow, we could blow, we could blow, we could blow, we could blow
Smile if you wanna smile, cry if you wanna cry
Just be around, be around, be around, be around, be around, be around
Dance if you wanna dance, but darling give me a chance
Cause I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

I can't breathe without you
I can't breathe without you
I can't breathe without you
I can't breathe without you

Babe I know you want me
Babe I know you love me
Babe I know you'll let me just be around

Babe I know you want me
Babe I know you love me
Babe I know you'll let me just be around

Babe I know you want me
Babe I know you love me
Babe I know you'll let me just be around

Babe I know you want me
Babe I know you love me
Babe I know you'll let me just be around

Just Be Around

The Real Electric

Seeing Grey

Nagoro

your mother’s wise
and father’s waiting
the candle’s bright
but it shines for no one
some paradise
i'm a fallen ceres
we might as well keep
the candle burning on

you're the cure for the heartache
you're the light on a dark day 
we'll keep the candle burning for you

you're the hope for the hopeless
innocent as the first breath
we'll keep the candle burning for you


how many stars
light up the night?
there's one that's meant for
you and I
turn off the lights
and draw the curtains
be sure to keep
the candle burning

you're the cure for the heartache
you're the light on a dark day 
we'll keep the candle burning for you

you're the hope for the hopeless
innocent as the first breath
we'll keep the candle burning for you

you can walk the road in your own time
if we light the way, maybe you can find us
till we see your face in the sunlight
we will stay up late, and keep the candle burning on

you're the cure for the heartache
you're the light on a dark day 
we'll keep the candle burning for you

you're the hope for the hopeless
innocent as the first breath
we'll keep the candle burning for you

Keep the Candle Burning

Me Not You
