Sunset Room

Sound, Soul, Beat and Mood

About Me

What started as an homage to British trip hop has evolved into an eclectic mix of blues, jazz, electronica and alternative music. Sunset Room takes an deep appreciation of diverse classic artists such as Pink Floyd, Janis Joplin and Howlin Wolf, and combines it with the sensibility of modern influences such as PJ Harvey, Radiohead and Basement Jaxx. The band teasingly plays against a backdrop of electronic loops, samples and soundscapes, blurring the lines completely to captures its audience at every turn. It is a well-choreographed sideshow where slide guitars co-exist with laptop computers, vocal melodies drift into jazz scats, and upright bass lines morph into synth grooves. The band is working on the follow-up album to their critically-acclaimed debut, Almost an Angel.
