Sometimes a track deserves to be shared because it’s just a lovely vibe and you think people should have the opportunity to hear it. ‘All Times Are Now’, released by Vancouver duo Victoria Sun fits this brief. It doesn’t quite fit the brief for our electronic music blog, but it’s a wonderful track all the same. Check it out…
Victoria Sun have been involved in musical projects together since 2007. Eliza is a singer/songwriter, equally influenced by musical theatre, ‘90s British indie, and Gregorian chant. Robert is a producer and multi-instrumentalist intrigued by historic chamber music and retro electro acoustic compositions. They like to keep a low profile, so we have to guess what they look like.
A little background from their official bio…
Victoria Sun emerged from beyond the horizon in early 2022, as Eliza started considering what the spaces we inhabit would look like if, after the sun went down, all we had was candlelight. These ponderings resulted in a series of musical ideas: a few dark—at times dissonant—chord structures, multilayered vocal melodies and poetic lyrics, which Eliza proposed to Robert as a new direction for a musical partnership. Now, Victoria Sun is blending medieval tones, moody alt-folk and psychedelic synth sounds; musical influences include Extradition, Led Zeppelin, Blur, and Matt Berry, among many others.
“All Times Are Now” is the feature single from their debut EP, Pollinator, and was released back in November 2022.
