about
Sun Kin is the project of Los Angeles based producer Kabir Kumar. Born in Bombay, India and raised in five different countries, Kumar’s music is informed by the intimacy and audacious vulnerability that can only exist through learning to bond through transience. Kumar has been making music under the Sun Kin moniker for nearly a decade, traveling from a psych folk project to something more rooted in a combination of the Middle Eastern and Indian pop music they grew up with, dappled with elements of Acid House, disco and R&B. Sun Kin was formed in Berkeley, CA circa 2011, and has released two full-length albums (Good Feels and Moon For Days) as well as a split album with Brooklyn’s Miserable chillers called Adoration Room. "Under Standing Waves" (2017) was featured on Spotify’s Fresh Finds: Rock playlist in August of that year. Sun Kin's third album Private Time was released in January 2020. As they’ve homed in on their craft, they’ve accumulated new sonic textures, new territories, and different modes of expression. This bricolage and deep inquiry into movement reaches its apotheosis on Sun Kin's fourth full-length After the House (2021). So much of Kumar’s craft on After the House is about the bliss that dance music provides, the intimacy it encourages, and the ways in which it can feel like a home for the listener to bask in, and feel safe inside. - Sophie Kemp User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
