Track Story
Sunset or Sunrise is the second single and film clip from the forthcoming album Airport Departure Lounge; a propulsive indie-rock track that races forward like a fast train running straight through the heart of the listener. It asks a simple question: are we heading for a crash, the start of something new, or somehow both? Should we run, or should we dance? The song surges with urgency, yet the vocal delivery remains restrained and sombre, creating a tension between motion and emotion. The days feel long, but a lifetime passes in a blink. With Sunset or Sunrise, Jans-Brown once again stretches the frame of the three-minute pop song, smuggling big ideas into a fast, hook-driven form. Beneath the rush lies a deeper exploration of love and identity.
