City of the Sun may live in Brooklyn, New York, but their genre-defying music drifts like a tide across borders. They weave together a mosaic that pulls from a global array of sounds and cultures. Shades of indie rock, Latin folk, and World Music carry the weight of their stories and memories, revealing entire landscapes.
Formed by guitarist John Pita, joined by drummer Zach Para, the band later introduced bassists Matt Fasano and guitarist Marco Bolfelli. City of the Sun creates music that feels at once intimate and cinematic—like a film you can step inside. Since their debut in 2016 with To The Sun and All the Cities in Between, to their 2020 self-titled, and 2022’s Segunda Alma, the band has built a cult-following around the globe. As their profile rose, City of the Sun began touring alongside Peter Bjorn and John and Thievery Corporation, and their songs started to connect with fans on a profoundly universal level. Their lush and visceral compositions carry echoes of desert winds, city nights, Mediterranean summers, and the quiet glow of loss and transformation. It is no wonder that audiences from London to Paris to Athens, and beyond, have embraced them with sold-out rooms – crowds raised in reverence – listening as if each note were a lyric.
Their new album, Under the Moon, marks a return and feels like stepping out of the shadows and into new sunlight. Produced with the legendary Phil Ek. The album is set to come out on April 2026.
