Drawing influence from artists like New Order, Pet Shop Boys, and Depeche Mode, The Golden Hour's music is characterized by its upbeat energy, nostalgic atmosphere, and introspective lyrics. 

This album is a beautiful reminder of who I am. It shows me the struggles and triumphs in my past while guiding me to what's next for myself.


I feel like these songs have helped stitch together all those little pieces that make up your identity with an honest listening experience; it gives you insight into where they came from & how we can overcome anything if need be!

The emotions brought out by these songs are so raw and real, I feel them deep inside my chest. There are moments worth smiling about even when life comes with its problems; it just makes everything seem manageable somehow.

“The Planes”, is a gorgeously twinkly retro gem that instantly pleases on the ear with its silky-smooth
layers of haunting psychedelic harmonies and fuzzy guitar leads. There’s a crisp organic sound
encasing the track as stunning streams of consciousness collide in shimmering audio gold.
Recorded in a farmhouse in the English countryside, “The Walls” brings Holly full circle from her
previous Los Angeles recorded album. Finely crafted arrangements, sonic musings, and playful
themes take us on a journey with Holly as she deconstructs her Brit Pop and classic influences and

reassembles them into progressive-folk wonderment. 

On “The Walls”, Holly said, “This album sits within a sense of place. As a songwriter, I can only speak
of my own thoughts of home and belonging. I suppose this record is a wandering eye over the fleeting
moments from the last few years, of when I felt at home, and when I didn’t. When I felt like the walls
were tumbling, when they kept me safe, and when they became my prison. I learned the only way of

breaking these patterns, was to let people step over the threshold.

Holly Henderson - The Planes

So far away is a dark, sad, alt-pop ballad that was written for a film soundtrack for a film that never got filmed. Still...sounds like something you'd hear in the background of a shot where something awful was happening to a character that you had grown to love dearly.

Hi, I'm Matteo Zandonella Bolco, the human behind Sunset Surrender! My music is a proper genre smoothie, blending 80s-inspired Synth-pop, New Wave, Post-punk, Dream Pop, and Surf Rock into something uniquely my own. It’s a reflection of my life’s journey—moving across the globe, searching for a sense of belonging, and finding solace in the notes that connect us all.

Each track I create is a piece of that journey, where upbeat and catchy rhythms meet deeper, introspective themes. I believe music has the power to comfort and connect us, especially when life throws its challenges our way. That’s why I pour my personal struggles and hopes into every song, aiming for it to become the soundtrack to someone else’s story too.

I draw inspiration from a wide range of artists, but what truly shapes my sound is a feeling the Japanese call “Natsukashii”—a bittersweet nostalgia for a past that never really existed. It’s about those moments that tug at your heart, making you feel connected to something bigger, even if you can’t quite put your finger on it. That’s what I strive to capture with Sunset Surrender—not just music, but a shared emotional experience.

At the end of the day, Sunset Surrender is about creating a sense of home, a place where you can feel seen, understood, and never alone. Whether you’re here to vibe with the tunes or find a bit of comfort, I hope my music can create that space for you.

Your Surrender
