落日飛車 Sunset Rollercoaster

About

Sunset Rollercoaster isn't just a band; it's an invitation to a perpetual twilight romance, soundtracked by synth-drenched melodies and hazy, reverb-soaked vocals. Hailing from Taipei, Taiwan, this sextet weaves together elements of yacht rock, city pop, and psychedelic rock, crafting a sound both nostalgic and utterly contemporary. Their breakthrough came with the album *Cassa Nova* (2018), a record that cemented their status as international indie darlings, earning them critical acclaim and a devoted fanbase. Imagine Steely Dan flirting with Mac DeMarco under the neon lights of a Tokyo night – that's the essence of Sunset Rollercoaster. Formed in 2009, the band initially dabbled in a more straightforward indie rock sound before evolving into their signature blend of dreamy, groove-laden tunes. Frontman Kuo Hung-Ting's introspective lyrics, often sung in English, add another layer of depth to their alluring soundscapes. They've toured extensively, captivating audiences worldwide with their mesmerizing live performances, and have collaborated with artists like Phum Viphurit, further expanding their sonic palette. With each release, including their latest projects, Sunset Rollercoaster continues to refine their unique brand of romantic escapism, proving that their appeal transcends geographical boundaries and cultural divides.
