The Great Sun

mr_kit Rizz and Matt have dubbed their sound "Death Pop." Hey, it works for me, but these dark, finely crafted songs defy any sort of classification. It's a great fusion of guitar and keyboards, filtered through their sardonic viewpoint. Hypnotic and trance inducing, their music will keep you company on those nights you can't sleep. You'll find yourself swaying and spinning like some urban dervish seduced by their sound. Favorite track: Councillor.

Wren Shaw Listening to this for the first time now and loving it. I'm only half way through and I cant wait to play it again. Dark, raw, evocative, it begs to be listened too over and over, each time hearing something different. Thanks VOWWS

I've a way to go but I don't mind He said he's gonna be waiting counting time I swear I'm starting over you could be anyone I'm sure I made you up cause I'm just so overdone I'm headed for The Great Sun I haven't found a place I won't go to fight the feeling that I am on my own So when it's almost over act like it's just begun We're gonna get back to ourselves we'll head for The Great Sun I'm headed for The Great Sun

STRANGER 03:12
You're still on my mind so let's go back some time We were so brand new I was scared to talk to you You can call me a stranger been all over this town Seems what I came for got away somehow We had schoolyard fights so let's go back some time Took me days to find you now I'm gonna go south Seems time's rewinding makes me younger somehow

about

"VOWWS, an Australian/Iranian duo, have channeled their inner Numan through their premiere of the Nippon Oni Karaoke video for their song—the pulsing incantation “The Great Sun”.

The two halves of this industrial rock chimera met while studying music composition at The University of Western Sydney in Australia, and have begun to develop a cult following. Their forthcoming LP produced by Kevin McMahon will be released this summer via Cleopatra Records"
