about

Fresh off a rebrand from The Golden Hour, Sunset Surrender reintroduces himself to the music scene, showcasing a deeper and more haunting sound with the latest single, "Lies, Lies, Lies!".

This compelling single delves into a world of personal anguish and emotional distress, drawing from raw experiences of workplace deceit and unfulfilled promises. It reflects a matured musical journey where each note and lyric resonates deeply with feelings of personal struggle and the moments of catharsis that ensue.

Crucially, "Lies, Lies, Lies!" heralds a transformative shift in Sunset Surrender's sonic landscape. While paying homage to the nostalgic undertones of his synthpop/synthwave origins, the track dives deeper into an evocative aura. The poignant lyricism of legends like Joy Division's Ian Curtis and the atmospheric touch of The Cure heavily influence this new direction.

"Lies, lies, lies, in this twisted game,
Lies, lies, lies, it's all the same,
A haunting melody, my soul's demise,
In this cold embrace, my spirit dies."

On his evolving sound, Sunset Surrender shares, "My journey is fluid, shaped heavily by the raw emotion and authenticity of bands like Joy Division and The Cure. This track isn't just a confrontation with deceit; it's also a marker of both my musical and personal evolution."

"Lies, Lies, Lies!" isn't merely a song—it's a statement, signaling the start of a new chapter for Sunset Surrender. The gripping lyrics and refined sound are poised to captivate listeners, immersing them in a narrative of deceit, despair, and, ultimately, redemption.

lyrics

In the shadows
Where illusions dance
A tapestry of deceit
A wicked trance
Words spoken softly
Feel like a caress
Your hands move slowly
A cruel finesse
As the sharp pointed edge
Pierces my flesh
Your eyes reveal
A sadistic mesh
A twisted pleasure
A sinister delight
In the darkness you revel
Feeding on my fright

Lies, lies, lies
In this twisted game
Lies, lies, lies
It's all the same
A haunting melody
My soul's demise
In this cold embrace
My spirit dies

Lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies

Promises whispered
Like fragile glass
But they shatter into fragments
A broken past
Their echoes linger
Haunting my mind
A constant reminder
Of what I left behind

Lies, lies, lies
In this twisted game
Lies, lies, lies
It's all the same
A haunting melody
My soul's demise
In this cold embrace
My spirit dies
Whispers of deceit
Staining my existence
Lies, lies, lies
Suffocating my persistence
A dissonant symphony
Piercing through my core
In this relentless cycle
I'm left wanting more

Lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies
