Montreal band Secret Sun, formed by Anne-Marie Campbell and Simon Landry, shares their first music video for Feather, a new song from their upcoming album Cold Coast, set to be released on September 30th via Bonsound.
Directed by Miami-based visual artists Michael-John Hancock and Jonathan David Kane, the video was filmed at the historic Shadow Point, the heavenly estate located in Key Largo, Florida. The sunny shots pay homage to the soap operas of days gone by, as well as the novel Play It As It Lays by Joan Didion. A tribute to the therapeutic power of music, Feather’s lyrics were inspired by this 1970 book about a retired actress struggling with her own disillusionment. Hopefully, the song will give you a splash of relief from the summer heat!
Until the release of Cold Coast, you can download the irresistible title track, according to Émilie Côté (La Presse), via secretsun.bandcamp.com. The band will be opening for Kopecky Family Band at Quai des Brumes, in Montreal, on August 8th.
About Secret Sun
On a beautiful evening in Parc Lafontaine in 2011, Simon Landry and Anne-Marie Campbell joined forces and promised to write a series of songs for a vibrant, emotional, and luminous project named Secret Sun. After writing for a full year, and with the help of producers François Lafontaine and Sebastien Blais-Montpetit, the band made their vision a reality and recorded their Cold Coast EP, released on Bandcamp for the masses. They then played shows in various bars on St-Laurent Blvd., and were part of the MEG, M for Montreal, POP Montreal and CMW programs.
Cold Coast is a classic end of summer song – boppy and electro-poppy enough for breezy days, but with a cool, nostalgic, ‘80s feel to it.

Une voix céleste. Des arrangements eighties nocturnes envoutants.

Julie Ledoux, Voir
Secret Sun, the duo of Anne-Marie Campbell and Simon Landry, crafted lush and languid alternative pop songs that were simply spellbinding. Campbell has one of those beguiling, siren-like voices that effortlessly moves from high to low and back again.
