BOREAL SUN - Dawn (2024) [Hi-Res]

BOREAL SUN is a collaboration between vocalist Liselotte Östblom and producer/multi-instrumentalist Matt Roberts. Formed in London, UK, BOREAL SUN showcases the very best talent of the city’s thriving jazz, groove and independent music scenes. Their debut EP ‘Dawn’ features contributions from bassist/producer Robin Mullarkey (Brotherly, Jacob Collier), saxophonist Emma Rawicz, percussionist Yahael Camara Onono (Balimaya Project), drummer Josh Blackmore (Troyka, SiZE) and many more. The project combines syncopated grooves, sweeping orchestrations, uplifting vocal hooks, powerful lyrical themes and explorative improvisations. The result is a rich, captivating sonic landscape that speaks to the breadth of influences that have informed the duo. Influences that range from the 1970’s fusion excursions of Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter, to London’s Broken Beat and Acid Jazz movements of the 1990’s. But make no mistake, BOREAL SUN present an unmistakably contemporary sound, with a unique scope and depth of musicality.
