Setting Sun
Darkly personal and aurally powerful. Warm, with a novel sound that manages to be tuneful and full of melody backed by lovely ethereal (and sometimes experimental) instrumentation. There's cello, vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards and drums.

Willamette Weekly (Portland)
Setting Sun
With his voice a biting whisper and guitar work that's
quietly emphatic and shrewd as it picks its way around
the fretboard, Setting Sun's Gary Levitt has more than
a little Elliott Smith in him. We're talking old
Elliott Smith here, i.e., the sad, intimate and cloudy
days of Roman Candle, not the overblown rainbow
Beatle-isms of today. Perhaps ironically, Levitt grew
up in New York City and now lives in Los Angeles...so
perhaps if Portland gives him a warm enough welcome, he'll move here and it'll be like reclaiming a lost Portland son. Or, perhaps more appropriately, Sun.

Setting Sun - holed up
The songs on Setting Sun' debut album, Holed Up, are darkly personal and aurally powerful. Yet they are also warm, with a novel sound that manages to be tuneful and pretty against quiet-to-loud dynamics. These odd anti-folk-rock ballads are all about unexpected minor chord progressions, backed by lovely ethereal (and sometimes experimental) instrumentation that fills out and lends a contradictory polish to th albums roughened sounds. There's cello and vox besides guitar, bass, keyboards and drums. Pretty consistent across it's 12 interesting tracks, the album was self-produced and self-released by multi-instrumentalist Gary Levitt. It sounds as though it has label money behind it, but it doesn't. It's a very strong debut--and a keeper. (JS)

There's a little Bowie in there, and some Elliot Smith, but who cares about comparisons? Setting Sun writes and plays great songs like "The Only One": You're the only one I had to be there for, there's an absence and a spark that I just cannot ignore." -Glenn Starkey
