Setting Sun - To The Next Place

A musical project by Gary Levitt and Erica Quitzow, Setting Sun will be releasing their third record entitled To The Next Place on May 6, a week before the release of Quitzow's new album.

With an intimate lyrical style, each word is slowly tasted before being spoken and set against driving beats, lashing cellos, soothing instrumental interludes and a rich cortege of violins, synthesizers, and homemade sounds. All the while never losing it's focus on the song with it's layers of edgy counterpoint melody, lifting harmonies and soundscapes.

The album was self produced with many friends lending their playing skills. Most noticeably on the record are the string arrangements expertly played by band- and label-mate Erica Quitzow. Set up in a spare room of the house, Quitzow and Setting Sun share a home studio, Young Love Recording Studio. Initially built to record themselves, Gary soon began taking on outside clients. “I love helping other artists work on their music,” says Levitt. “If they come in with just bare-bones sketches of songs and want to expand on them, I'll come up with ideas that add to the songs but don’t compete with them.” Gary also plays bass and sings harmonies for Erica’s band Quitzow.
