about
Sunnsetter falls under a broader banner of genre and style. Tracks from album to album vary between ambient, singer-songwriter, shoegaze, post-rock, slow-core and others. Finding it limiting to stick to specific genres Sunnsetter often instead uses related themes throughout the body of work, blended together through use of instrumentation and atmospheres to convey mood, sometimes invoking Andrew’s knowledge of film score to build up layers and moods throughout a piece in order to bring a listener into the space. One of the main lyrical themes dealt with in albums like Worrybody (2018), Attic Son (2017) surrounds the heavy subject matter of acute mental illness, alienation and even suicide ideation. As Andrew has spent much of his life dealing with the effects of mental illness, and Aspergers syndrome. While these lyrical themes are prominent in the work, so too is the need to understand them, change these behaviours and learn how to live with them and grow from that experience. To say that the music of Sunnsetter is sad would be a misinterpretation as much of the lyrical content in the music is centred around a desire to change these negative patterns of thought and spend more time cherishing life and the people in it as could be evidenced by the most recent Sunnsetter release "The Love You Withhold is the Pain You Carry" (2020) which tends towards being much more hopeful in nature.
