About Me |

"...an odd atmosphere, probed by twizzling sounds, and the feeling that this is the soundtrack for the aftermath of a crash landing." - parasitesandsycophants "These tunes have more hooks than a tackle box." - Daily Freeman "Pop with its edgily tense cortege of suspense straining strings." - Losing Today "There's a little Bowie in there, and some Elliott Smith, but who cares about comparisons? Setting Sun writes and plays great songs." - New Times "The writing would have made it stand out either way." - Pittsburgh Post-Gazzette "It kind of made me feel like I was 15 again and listening to a new Sub Pop band." - Impact Press "Spacey, thoughtful, and -- dare I say it -- pretty." -Space City Rock "Setting Sun is good, and good for you." - News Observer (NC) "Levitt wails with toned-down tinges of Kurt Cobain's emptiness and Elliot Smith's pain." - West Coast Performer "It's urgent in a kind of methodical and knowing way." -Tasty Fanzine (UK) "An intimate lyrical style but expansive music, embracing driving beats, soothing instrumental interludes and aggressive rhythms." - Eugene Weekly "Like a never-ending treasure hunt. Each song evolves to some completely different end without losing its original idea." - Boise Weekly "With his voice a biting whisper and guitar work that's quietly emphatic and shrewd as it picks its way around the fretboard, Setting Sun's Gary Levitt has more than a little Elliott Smith in him. We're talking old Elliott Smith here, i.e., the sad, intimate and cloudy days of Roman Candle." - Willamette Weekly (Portland) "Maybe he’s just an independent thinker who’s onto something." - Las Cruces Pulse A BIT MORE For all intents and purposes, Setting Sun is basically Gary Levitt as the spirit behind these recordings. These songs were all recorded at home giving them their own sense of intimacy. There are many wonderful contributors (including cello, violin, drums etc...) and an evolving live cast. SHOW ARCHIVE Gary is also an engineer at the illustrious Young Love Studio in New Paltz, NY. Gary also plays bass and sings backup for Quitzow . SETTING SUN ON LAST.FM 18 seconds of philosophical fun... or Gary's guitar being stolen in Austin Texas "Don't email me your original" - Austin Detective assigned to the case |
