If you’re a fan of Kurt Vile, Steve Gunn, Kevin Morby and cosmic country and folk sounds in general then this new single from Melbourne artist Sunset Stranger will appeal.

There’s a dreamy drift and pastoral psychedelia to this ‘Shades Of Time‘, the second single from the new album Double Dream, due out in 2023. Notes twinkle and billow in a hazy melange of spiralling and intertwined guitar strings (fingerstyle-picked and pedal steel).

Melody is king of this beguiling land, both in the aforementioned quilt of guitars and in the vocals of Stephen E. Stanisic and the gorgeous background voices of Helena Plazza, Steph Brett & Julie Montan.
