Brace yourself for a sonic experience like no other – New Plymouth’s People of the Sun have arrived. This powerhouse trio, made up of seasoned NZ musicians Joseph Anderson, Djordje Nikolic, and Tom Scrase, melds rock, soul, jazz, and indigenous sounds into a fierce and evocative new form. Their music doesn’t just echo through speakers – it conjures the landscapes of Aotearoa and the stories of its people.

Now, after electrifying audiences with their charged live performances, People of the Sun are beyond excited to unleash their self-titled debut album. Crafted with precision and passion, the record was mixed by Lee Prebble at The Surgery in Pōneke, ensuring a sound that’s as immersive as it is unforgettable.

“Our goal was to create an album that feels as deeply connected conceptually and emotionally as the records that shaped us,” the band shares. “The albums we loved weren’t just collections of songs – they carried us somewhere, unfolding as a complete, powerful experience.”

Get ready to be transported. People of the Sun is here.

“We wanted to leave enough unsaid that meaning could be co-constructed by our listeners. Favouring the symbolic over the literal, the allusory over the prescriptive. Pointing at unarticulated understandings that arise from the synergy of sound, space, groove, language and energetic dynamism.

If our music provokes within the listener an emotional movement towards vulnerability and openness, and maybe the possibility of some small bit of healing, then it has been successful.”

The album is available now via Soundcloud, Youtube, and various streaming platforms.
