Get your Sunday off to a slow, sleepy start – or bring it to a soft, satisfied end – with the gentle “new-folk” melodies of Pagoda Sun. The duo make desk-tapping, string-based tunes apt for life’s quieter moments. If you want something a tad more bluesier, I reckon Age Makes A Killing has a slightly Dylan-esque feel to it – but that could just be me? - Some of it was true! (Blog)

Bio
Having grown up together around traditional folk, country and world music, Lily and Stefan formed Pagoda Sun in early 2012 to pursue their love of writing and playing music - born from a love of singing harmonies together and creating music which captures the essence of their journey through life so far. Combining singer songwriter folk style music with a more contemporary and accessible sound, Pagoda Sun harks back to a more organic, stripped back approach to performance where intricate harmonies, catchy melodies and an energy created by a lifelong friendship is the foundation of the music. Drawing influences from Dylan, Guthrie and the original Dust Bowl folk singers from 30's America as well as newer muses from Kurt Vile and the War on Drugs to Fionn Regan. Pagoda Sun write songs from scratch - starting with life and feeling and adding stories and lessons learned to our lyrics.
Pagoda Sun offers something unique in that we have grown up together singing and playing and travelled the world together and separately and always returned to one of our kitchen floors, writing and singing the night away until we are happy we have encapsulated a little piece of our reality to transmit to our listeners.
