Sunnsetter, is the project of multi-artist Andrew McLeod, he recently returned with “I feel everything,” a track off his forthcoming album, Heaven Hang Over Me. “This song is about emotions that never let up. Feeling anything and everything, all of the time,” they explain. “The feeling of never being able to escape it, permeating every part of you until you forget everything you believe to be true because of that one moment of intense emotion.” The album will be released November 15, 2024 on Paper Bag Records, and the follow up to his previous LP The best that I can be.

Sunnsetter works primarily from their home studio in rural Norfolk County. Andrew is also a collaborator, contributor and player with three time Polaris nominated/ twice shortlisted, and Juno nominated ZOON, the solo music project of Daniel Monkman, and 2023 Juno Award nominees, OMBIIGIZI.

‘Heaven’ is a reference to the universal energy that surrounds us, not some extension of a religious faith. “I talk about it as this feeling, knowing it’s there, not knowing what it is or how to explain its existence. I don’t see the world as a literal place.” Andrew also completely misheard a Nirvana lyric (in 1993’s In Utero track, “Dumb”) and that earworm has stuck ever since. When Cobain sings ‘have a hangover now” it accidentally translated to Andrew’s ears as “heaven hang over now.”

In the last year, Sunnsetter has organically evolved into a full band entity supporting McLeod which includes: Cole Sefton (guitar), Trevor Cooke (drums) and Kyle Gottschalk (keyboards). “The last year and a half has been wonderful, we have journeyed and grown as a group of people, and as a band,” says Andrew. “Having these people around to turn this dream into a reality has been an incredible experience. We all love to play music and we all have a similar outlook on how this can work.”
