Melbourne-based singer-songwriter Sunset Salore makes an impactful entrance into the alt-pop scene with her debut EP, Love Kills The Monsters. Released to enthusiastic anticipation, the EP features seven evocative tracks that explore themes of resilience, self-acceptance, and transformation. With funky basslines and sultry grooves, each song radiates an authentic alternative pop feel, drawing listeners into Sunset’s reflective world.
The EP’s title track, Love Kills the Monsters, sets the tone for the journey, exploring the idea that love and self-compassion can overcome inner struggles. Sunset Salore explains, “This EP was the first time I felt ready to tell a story, and it was really cathartic, and quite reflective for me. I forced myself to embrace a brighter outlook… That’s where the name comes from, the thought that maybe we can love our demons away.” This message of healing flows throughout the EP, creating a space where pain and growth coexist harmoniously.
Hope and Call It, two standout tracks, delve deeper into resilience. Released earlier this year, Call It gave fans a glimpse of the emotional honesty that defines Sunset Salore’s music. Meanwhile, Mystery and Magic—another fan favorite—showcases her ethereal vocals over a groovy beat, bringing a spellbinding, dreamlike quality that lives up to its title.
Feel and Potential offer uplifting melodies paired with introspective lyrics, blending Sunset Salore’s own experiences with a universal message of self-worth. Wrapping up the EP, Don’t Owe You Pretty reclaims agency and self-respect, ending the journey on a powerful, liberating note.
To celebrate the release of Love Kills The Monsters, Sunset Salore will be performing at Bergy Bandroom on February 1st, 2025, joined by fellow artists Kaiyah Mercedes, Lili Violet, and Gman. This launch show promises to be a soulful evening, blending deep storytelling with captivating live energy.
