Sun V Set is the musical expression of Linnea Morgan, with the co-creation of Ethan Johnstone (of Night Idea, Deau Eyes) and Ethan Kuhn (of Fight Cloud). They are based in Richmond, VA and have been playing together sporadically for years, cementing their project as Sun V Set in 2020. Their songwriting is grounded in nature elements and paints a dreamy landscape interwoven with siren melodies, mystical chords, and understated grooves. A spellbinding fusion of folk, mysticism, and self-reflection.
Listen to their new single ‘LA Electric’ which is out on 26th November. They tell us:
LA Electric is a moody, hypnotic, ethereal song capturing my inner monologue while driving westward from the east coast to relocate in 2017. Vocal layering and harmonizing to capture the spiritual and reflective nature of processing a life change while driving through dramatic American landscapes. I started writing the song on my friend’s couch in LA, hence the title, and continued the writing of it as I drove eastward, processing the journey I was finishing while headed home. We self-recorded and produced LA Electric at our home in Richmond, VA, populating the song ourselves as multi-instrumentalists.
There is no denying the poetry and melody embodied in the music of Sun V Set, they have created a cinematic universe which, despite the understated nature of their music, feels immense, at times almost orchestral, a quality that’s accentuated by Morgan’s ethereal and dynamic vocals.
