: PRESS QUOTES
"Since arriving in 2011—at the crest of an era overflowing with blissful synth projects—Luxembourg-based producer Victor Ferreira (aka Sun Glitters) has earned a loyal following through consistent output, collaboration, and tours alongside the likes of Slow Magic, Son Lux and Gonjasufi. It Will Be Forever finds him channeling the neon-noir of the 1980s (à la Drive OST and the videos games of his youth), recasting retro-futurism under the ominous cloud of today’s digital age. With his trademark electronica—shimmering, bass-driven melodies and a few mindfully placed vocal samples—Ferreira conveys in album format the seven stages of grief. It's an expansive and resplendent listen that ends on a high and hopeful note." - Hype Machine
"The relentless rise of one of the world’s greatest producers/artists/remixers/etc—Sun Glitters, aka Victor Ferreira." - Impose Magazine
"Since he first debuted on XLR8R back in 2011, Victor Ferreira (a.k.a. Sun Glitters) has been a regular fixture in our downloads section. As his production moniker suggests, Ferreira makes sun-kissed tunes that shimmer." - XLR8R
: BIOGRAPHY
Traveling sideways in time, Sun Glitters' It Will Be Forever is a cinematic cruise that illustrates a retro-future landscape of wildlife. Brimming with its own synthetic nature, the album's foundations of heavy bass, complemented and contradicted by electronica melodies, carve a panoramic view as he journeys between apprehensive, haunting tension and bright, revelatory scenery.
Sun Glitters (real name Victor Ferreira) spent his formative years as a teen in the 1980s, naturally gravitating to the luminous synth sounds characteristic of that time. Now, with a copy of Drive OST under his arm and witnessing his own children's inquisitive nature about the world, Victor found himself drawing inspiration from within–opening the door to nostalgia and taking a trip down a memory lane paved by dreams drawn on an Atari ST.
The result is It Will Be Forever, a love letter to a time of not so distant past - or perhaps so far in the future that it defies imagination - and a contemplative soundtrack that acknowledges the paths leading to this point, both personally and communally. Painting a vivid Tech Noir world layer-by-layer, It Will Be Forever reflects the cautious anticipation many of us feel today in the digital age: a sense of something bigger looming. Spanning 11 tracks, the album depicts a version of the seven stages of grief, with the conclusion being the most poignant as it closes with a wonder and zest for life that the author hopes to impart on us.
