“Daylight Star” is the debut single by Sun Cutter (aka Kevin Pearce), out June 19th on all digital platforms. Taken from an eponymous debut which will be released later in 2020 on Bronzerat Records.
Two years ago Sun Cutter, who is from Colchester, England, suffered a heart attack on a golf course whilst still in his early 30’s. As well as having to redress his excessive living, his rehabilitation involved writing and recording the Sun Cutter project.
Thus, it is a reflective album of contradistinction; a timeless classic whose vocals, lyrics and craft bring to mind the warmth of Richie Havens, Cat Stevens, Van Morrison and Tim Buckley while displaying – on songs like ‘Hold Out’ and ‘Don’t Fail Me Now’ – a more contemporary sound that nonetheless refuses to bow to the whims of fashion.
The EP was co-produced with pal Dean Honer (The Moonlandingz, I Monster, Keeley Forsyth, Eccentronic Research Council).
Kevin spent the tail end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020 on tour with Turin Brakes before the pandemic cut it short, with cancelled festival appearances such as Bearded Theory and Glastonbury. Touring will resume when… you know….
