Sun Cutter (AKA Kevin Pearce)

📅 Thursday 2 December 2027 🕚 8:00pm 📍 Colchester Arts Centre

/£8 concs  , show 8pm    Sun Cutter aka Kevin Pearce is delighted to announce the follow up to his 2022 debut, an Album of the Week on Germany’s Radio Eins which also charted in Apple Music’s Top 10 in two different album categories. Chock-a-block with soul and folk-infused indie-pop, Jupiter- sized choruses, and yearning, cinematic balladry, Sun Cutter 2 is a lament to turbulent times, beginning with a rallying call to shake it off and rise above it all. “All together we will stand and fight the darkness that has taken up our lives” Pearce sings on opener Union, which has been playlisted by Radio X and has also found love on Mark Radcliffe’s 6 Music show.  Accompanied by Gale Paridjanian (Turin Brakes) on sax, Cecilia Fage (Matt Berry & the Maypoles) and the Stagecoach Children’s Choir, the song is particularly poignant for Pearce since it features backing vocals from his close friend Simon Holliday, the soundman for Stereolab and Mercury Rev who passed away prematurely last summer.  Other collaborators on Sun Cutter 2 include Slowdive’s Rachel Goswell on ‘Mud Leaf’ and Michael J Sheehy on ‘The Spectacle’, the latter nodding to Guy Debord’s The Society of the Spectacle, albeit with one eye on modern media clickbait and doom-scrolling.  Stylistically, sonically and emotionally, Sun Cutter 2 covers plenty of ground, offering hints of The Beatles, Leonard Cohen, Pink Floyd, Cat Stevens, Ennio Morricone, Neil Young, The Flaming Lips, Massive Attack and Low, with a shot of gospel for good measure.  He also recently released the educational synth-pop album, The Sound of Science, with members of I Monster , as well as Sci-Fi Ballads for a Lost Generation on UK curio and oddities label Castles In Space.  https://linktr.ee/suncutter
