Twinsmith, Setting Sun

Twinsmith first gained attention with their self-released 2013 self-titled debut, and followed it up with the Honestly 7" later that year on Saddle Creek. Check out "Honestly" here: http://saddle-creek.com/store/618

The band was on the road in 2013 and 2014, playing with the likes of Mac DeMarco, Deleted Scenes, Icky Blossoms, Bishop Allen, METRONOMY, Reptar, and many more, as well as stopping by Minneapolis' Radio K to record a live session: http://www.radiok.org/instudios/twinsmith-instudio/

This fall the band hit the studio with Brandon Darner and Luke Pettipoole of The Envy Corps to record their sophomore effort and first full-length on Saddle Creek. You'll be able to hear the results in Spring of 2015.

"Dramatic and poignant! Unobtrusively, the band mixes synth experimentalism in with its folky, string-band sound to great effect." – NPR

“Incredibly well-crafted songs with a vocal that reminds me of...”
– USA Today

Setting Sun is a band led by frontman and producer Gary Levitt. It's tough to characterize their sound as it is crossover between indie-rock, folk and chamber pop music. Their latest release is titled ‘Be Here When You Get There’.

Driving rhythms, graceful string orchestrations, and Levitt's hushed, earnest vocals make up many melodic catchy tunes in the bands 5 records to date. Pop Matters wrote that “Setting Sun create an Arcade Fire urgency, creating sweeping orchestrations, driving rhythms. delicate, hushed vocals and well-crafted pop songs".
