“WHILE ROCK AND ROLL FORMS THE BASIS OF
THEIR SOUND, THEY FLOW THROUGH VARIOUS
STYLES AND BLURS GENRES TO MAKE SOMETHING
ENTIRELY NEW AND DISTINCTLY THEIR OWN.
A CAPTIVATING AND HIGHLY ORIGINAL SOUND”

PLASTIC MAGAZINE

 

And the Sunset Burns draw inspiration from a rich tapestry of musical influences, ranging from
the timeless sounds of English and American rock bands like The Rolling Stones and The Doors to
the soulful expressions of Latin artists such Enrique Bunbury or Calamaro.

The band’s objective is to express its captivating musical vision and take it wherever it is well
received. Now they have several singles and music videos available online and aim to release an LP
in 2024, and tour around UK and beyond.

 

“We don’t like to label our style; we rather live in between genres chasing different feeling from song to song.” – And the Sunset Burns

 

First unveiling the And the Sunset Burns project at the start of 2023, they dropped their debut single
“Every Time Your Body Moves,” a contagious and sensual song with a soul of electric blues, followed up by
their sophomore single “Restless”, an electrifying and groovy Rock n’ Roll tune in August. The third single
and first song in Spanish, is “Don Diablo” with a Latin and Flamenco influence performed by a rock band.

And now it comes “Just Another Day in New York City”, coming ahead of their upcoming debut album
this year. In this new song the band add new flavours to their eclectic catalog with Ruben, the drummer,
doing the main vocals…

MEET ‘AND THE SUNSET BURNS’ DURING OUR INTERVIEW

 

Another day in New York City – New release Interview with Ruben (Drummer and vocals ATSB)
1. What inspired your new release?
– I had the idea for the song while on holiday with my sister in New York in the summer of 2022. I was lying on the beach in Coney Island listening to the song The Only Living Boy in New York by Simon and Garfunkel when I decided to write a song about this city. I’d also been listening to Manhattan by Ella Fitzgerald a lot at that time, which is brilliant at capturing the mood of New York and bringing to life its different aspects. That was something I wanted to re-create based on my experience so I set about writing the song as soon as I got back.
2. What’s the story behind the title?
– One of the things I found so incredible about New York was how much you could fit into a day, and how many iconic things you could see in such a short space of time. So ‘Just Another Day in New York City’ tries to capture that feeling of nonchalantly being part of such a fast-paced, varied and impressive city.
3. What’s the story behind the artwork?
– The artwork was designed by Louis Gilbert, who is an old friend of mine and used to play bass in my previous bands. During my week in New York I stayed in a brownstone building in Brooklyn, and I really loved its classic look that somehow captured the day-to-day life of New York. It’s also a nod to the artwork for the Led Zeppelin album Physical Graffiti. Louis had the idea to incorporate some drawings of people inside the windows which gives it a unique and creative feel.
4. What’s the story behind the lyrics?
– The lyrics tell the story of my time in New York, and each line is a reference to something I got up to while I was there. One lyric I personally enjoy is ‘I spent the night in Greenwich Village where there’s plenty of drinks and plenty of spillage’. That was a reference to a night out that got a bit messy. After several drinks I fell down the stairs of a bar holding a beer and ended up slicing my palm with broken glass. My drunk self thought it was more important to try to save the beer than avoid injury, but of course I ended up with no beer and blood everywhere.
5. How does this release differ to your previous work?
– Whereas our previous singles were written by Danny who also sings the lead vocals, I wrote and sing on our latest release. It also has more of a punk feel, which is part of our musical background but doesn’t come through as strongly in the other songs we’ve released so far.
