EIC'S10Q'S w/Electric Sunset

"..perfect amount of Pop, modern Electronic beats, deep bass lines, and non-confrontational vocals. ..ranging from mostly upbeat, to breezy/"surfy", to ultra laid-back yet dancey and somewhat psychedelic. My main complaint, I already want more and I have to wait for it.."


Electric Sunset
Buoyant Future Pop

Electric Sunset Bio:
Electric Sunset is the new group of Nic Zwart, formerly guitarist and vocalist of Desolation Wilderness. With Rock & Roll swagger applied to synthetic rhythms and ringing keyboards, Nic wanted to create music that was both propulsive and dream-like. Fitting that Electric Sunset took shape as he moved from Olympia back to San Francisco, the city where he was born - that crazy and beautiful metropolis of weirdos, models and rockers. The debut self-titled album will be out on K in September 2010.
