City of the Sun’s 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 (Fleet Foxes, Father John Misty, Built to Spill), the record bends through moods and geogra-phies: the rolling surf of “Angeles,” the spaghetti-western hush of “Bajo la Luna,” the desert rock pulse of “Ciudad del Sol,” the Mediterranean sway of “Hotel Alma.”

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.

Valley Wolf is a Latin-psychedelic band from Modesto, CA. Their music blends psychedelic rock, soul, cumbia, and quebradita rhythms to make people connect to something primal within, creating a bouncy, pulsating sound that makes people want to dance. Be ready for “puro pinchi pari” as their music is meant to be experienced with dancing shoes – or chanclas – on any dance floor, where people can be found swaying, jumping and sometimes even laughing. The band has built a loyal following through their infectious live shows and have earned them slots alongside acclaimed acts like Enjambre, Ramona, Son Rompe Pera, and E Arenas.
