SunMan was formed in Zac, Luca and Claus’s last year of high school. Completely by chance and almost accidentally, one day they found themselves in the same room and realised that they all shared a passion for music: Zac for blues and jazz, Claus for techno and deep house and Luca for classical music. The trio encourages a fresh perspective on popular music but remains tight and commercial. They seek to entertain and create a deeply emotional experience for their listeners.
As Cape Town embraces modern culture and grows into a metropolis; its art and fashion are beginning to evolve. SunMan embodies a digital flavour that is taking the city by storm, balancing classic guitar rock with sparkly synths and electronic texture. The three-piece are both exciting and nostalgic as they imagine more than just music, but an entirely novel sonic and visual aesthetic.
‘Left Here For Dead’ or “LHFD” is a search for direction. Anguished and desirous vocals are slowly enveloped in melancholy guitar melodies as the singer confronts his loneliness in the verse. The verse then unfolds into a dramatic, swelling chorus of thick and crunchy guitar chords and imploring vocals. The singer escapes abandonment for an instant, only to be engulfed once again in the aimless and shifting soundscape of the verse. ‘Left Here for Dead’ embodies the most fundamental human choice, a choice between despair and hope.
