Copenhagen-based electronic artist Sonny announces debut album via Northern Underground Records

Moving from his home country Australia all the way to Denmark was necessary for the now Copenhagen-based producer and live artist, Sonny. Becoming instantly engrossed with both the underground scene there and Danish culture in general, Sonny now brings together notes from this journey into debut album, Union: Integration Of The Shadow; announced today with first single ‘The Feels’.

Finding a close connection to the core sentiments of Danish and wider Scandinavian culture, revolving around sustainability and acting in favour of the greater good, Sonny lives closely linked with such values. Working completely with raw materials, Sonny takes strides to envelope the fullest sounds within his productions, working with purely analogue processes and even mastering his forthcoming LP to tape using a StuderA80. Placing upmost focus on quality, Sonny harnesses a further deep appreciation for the hands-on methods of music making employed during the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.

“The album is a time capsule. I want my records to be a hopscotch through my journeys in life. I’m just making the music I want to make and how that forms or changes over time is the story.” - Sonny

Upon arrival in Copenhagen, Sonny threw himself into exploring and absorbing the wider culture. Weaving together the story of his journey across the forthcoming ‘Union: Integration Of The Shadow’ LP, Sonny discusses finding and making new friends, discovering hobbies and even finding love, all wrapped up in a musical format. Presenting today, first album single ‘The Feels’ we hear the story of Sonny finding love with his now, fiancé. Using his own vocals, he speaks openly of his feelings for her, embellished with deep and warming chords drawn and crafted from deep within his synthesisers.

“This tune is essentially directed towards my girlfriend, Julia. This track actually stemmed from a big jam I did with Kris Baha at his studio in Berlin. Some of the parts from that session made the base of ‘The Feels’, which I wrote and structured back at home in my studio in Copenhagen.

The vocals came later, telling a story of the feels I have for my girlfriend.” - Sonny

Representing the marriage of cultures and the furthering of fuller sounds, Sonny’s ‘Union: Integration Of The Shadow’ LP explores the beautiful overlaps in his native Australian culture and those new-found in his Scandinavian base; reflecting on how they have each moulded him as a person and a producer.

Sonny ‘Union: Integration Of The Shadow’ LP will be released 24th April 2020 via Northern Underground Records.
