Suntrodden: Sunrise to Sunset

Suntrodden Back in 2013, Erik Stephansson was lying under the Bonnaroo sun contemplating the direction of his life. No longer a young dreamer, and about to become a father for the first time, he was wondering what changes were looming on the horizon. With no room for regret, he used this wonderful moment to inspire him and focus his songwriting on a new project. Revitalized with positivity, Stephansson channelled this energy into Suntrodden, the ideal vehicle for his dreamy indie pop.

Now comes his new record Suntrodden I, the first in a triptych of EPs which present the crystallization of Stephansson’s sanguine vision. Of the project he says “I think they largely explore personal struggles and the way we overcome those challenges.

I try to always look at the songs through an optimistic lens.” This lens is also a hazy window into his world. It is a drowsy conversation at the start of the day, when hope once again fills the room. [via glg pub]
