Xavier Rudd & Izintaba
Koonyum Sun
Universal

Xavier Rudd has a presence about him that belies his years.

The Aussie singer has such an incredible spiritualness to his music – the sounds seem to almost come to life.

Koonyum Sun sees Rudd shift away from the rock sounds of his previous release ‘Dark Shades’ with the heat of his past experiment now running into a stripped back, cooler offering.

Xavier Rudd

There is an intensely beautiful energy that slithers across the beats, drones, and vocals of this album like a snake moving through sand.

Perhaps it’s just what comes with a new album, or perhaps it’s his connection with new rhythm section, Izintaba, though Rudd seems more at peace.

Koonyum Sun is simply stunning.
