An Album A Year for Four Years - Creating Sonic Worlds with First Born Sun

First Born Sun, the musical project of Canberra songwriter and producer Dave Cina, is a true unsung hero of the music world. Over four years, he’s crafted four albums in the Club, each one a fully realised sonic world. In this episode, we explore his latest release, Monkey Paw, a Spaghetti Western-inspired album that’s both lighthearted and dark. Dave opens up about his love of producing over performing, and the challenge of hearing his own singing voice in recordings. Tune in for a conversation celebrating the quiet brilliance of an underrated artist and the worlds he creates through music.  Song Credit: “Dimming Light" - Written by David Cina.
