None Of It Matters Anyway


Sundur “My Dear”

“My Dear” opens Sundur’s excellent debut album full of music that exists largely in the spectrum of trip-hop with a jazzy, lightly psychedelic lullaby that sounds like Sarah Vaughan by way of Broadcast. The more conventional trip-hop and stoned R&B numbers on the record are quite good but this more delicate and jazz-oriented music is where Sundur thrive – producer DJ Platurn gets to use a more distinctive palette, and singer Savannah Lancaster can show off her range as well as her restraint. Her performance here is precise and controlled but also nakedly emotional as she sings about embracing apathy in a voice that makes it clear that she’s just too passionate and engaged to allow herself any kind of ignorant bliss. The music certainly does its best to lull you into a relaxed state though, particularly that lovely repeating keyboard motif that sounds like it’s made of moonlight.

Buy it from Bandcamp.
