Sunsetto Unveils His Debut Album: The Sun, The Moon & The Big Machine

Toronto’s rising alt-pop sensation sunsetto has arrived with his highly anticipated debut album, The Sun, The Moon & The Big Machine. This bold and evocative project fuses introspective lyricism with expansive production, drawing listeners into a cinematic exploration of love, ambition, and the complexities of the digital era.

Far more than just a collection of tracks, the album weaves a conceptual narrative around three powerful forces—warmth, passion, and the pursuit of seemingly unattainable dreams. “I wanted to tell a story through my experiences, balancing the push and pull of chasing ambitions while still yearning for something real,” sunsetto explains. “In a world where we consume so much daily, it’s easy to overlook the beauty in the present moment. This album is my attempt to capture those fleeting, often neglected emotions.”

Recorded between Los Angeles and Toronto over the past year, sunsetto’s journey to this milestone has been met with growing acclaim. His recent singles have resonated deeply with a new generation of pop fans, his poignant storytelling and genre-blurring sound marking him as an artist to watch.

Among the standout tracks is CROSSFIRE, a poignant anthem co-written and produced by 9AM (Leon Bridges, Noah Cyrus). With haunting melodies and raw lyricism, the song encapsulates sunsetto’s signature style. “It’s about lost potential and the choices that define us,” he shares. “That feeling of being caught between dreams and reality is something I’ve lived, and I wanted to bring that honesty into my music.”

Blending emotional depth with sonic innovation, sunsetto is carving a distinct lane in the alt-pop space. With The Sun, The Moon & The Big Machine, he invites listeners on an intimate journey through his world—one where every lyric, beat, and melody tells a story of passion, struggle, and self-discovery.

Meet sunsetto: The Genre-Defying Artist Behind the Music

Few artists capture the spirit of their generation like Toronto-based singer, songwriter, and producer sunsetto (Kyle Mischiek). Raised on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, he split his time between music and skateboarding, forging a creative path that would shape his sound. Initially dabbling in rap and beat-making during high school, he refined his craft at prestigious songwriting camps led by GRAMMY® and JUNO Award-winning songwriter Gordie Sampson (Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban).

His breakout moment came in 2020 with the viral success of his debut single don’t leave, amassing hundreds of thousands of streams and catching the attention of tastemakers like EARMILK and Fashionably Early. His distinctive fusion of dance, rap, R&B, and modern country—paired with lyrics that oscillate between euphoria and deep introspection—has solidified his place in the alt-pop landscape.

This year’s string of releases, including PLANS, POTENTIAL, GREEN TEXTS, DON’T LEAVE ME BEHIND (feat. Sinéad Harnett), BIG MACHINE, and SHE’S THE WHOLE WORLD, showcases his evolving artistry and connection to a new wave of pop listeners. Now, with The Sun, The Moon & The Big Machine, sunsetto embarks on his most ambitious chapter yet—one that cements his status as a force to be reckoned with in modern music.
