“Pure mood,
dropping the listener into the middle of some beautiful and history-rich ‘other’
world.” – Blurt
“Hidden In
The Sun knows how to hit hard with few frills. Lizzie Clapper delivers a quietly
devastating tale of loss.” – Culture
Collide
The previous Hidden
in the Sun single “Salt and the
Spring” is the only track from the band’s upcoming Seven Seasons debut album
that was composed collaboratively. The San Francisco-based group is comprised
of five distinct songwriters who just so happen to have found something special
enough in one another to make the group an inevitability.
Stepping out to start showing off the individualism
that defines Hidden in the Sun as a band (ironic, huh?) is vocalist Lizzie Clapper with her powerful piano
ballad invoking the group’s hometown, “San
Francisco Blues.” The track was recently
premiered (along with a guide to the band’s favorite San Francisco spots)
via music discovery website, Culture
Collide.
“Unlike other songs I write which are often fictionalized
histories or emotional tall tales, ‘San
Francisco Blues’ is purely autobiographical,” Clapper says. “Though it is one of the earliest songs we performed
together as a band, the emotion of it still speaks very strongly to me. It’s
about reaching out to someone who isn’t reaching back.”
The deep traditions of American roots music contrast
with styles ranging from the Blues to Ambient Electronic in the unique music of
Hidden in the Sun. Recorded deep in
the Redwood forests of Mendocino, California, Seven Seasons (arriving January 20th) shows off the
transcendent results that can come from true, egoless collaboration.
“We isolated ourselves for two weeks and only spent
time with each other, our producer, and the occasional grocery store clerk!,”
explains Clapper. Contrary to the
band’s usual writing processes, guitarist Sean
Alexander explains that “The riff for ‘Salt
and the Spring’ was brought to rehearsal and each member of the band came
up with his or her own unique contribution.”
For a group comprised of five songwriters, each with a
multitude of influences, cooperative creation could be a challenge. But, Hidden in the Sun isn’t just any band.
They’ve got this.
Members of Hidden
in the Sun are available for interviews.
The band will play a record release show in San Francisco at Viracocha (998 Valencia St.) on January 31st at 9PM. Contact Josh
Bloom at Fanatic for
