Artist Biography
Available in:

Cameron Stallones' work as Sun Araw incorporates many familiar influences, from psychedelia and space rock to Afro-pop and dub, but the results elude easy comparison to any artist or genre. Originally founded as an experimental solo venture while Stallones was a member of California-based psych jammers Magic Lantern, early Sun Araw recordings such as 2008's Beach Head consisted of haunting, drawn-out lo-fi drones, and were regarded as pivotal releases of the "hypnagogic pop" scene which was receiving heavy press at the time. Stallones incorporated warped dub rhythms into his work on releases like 2010's On Patrol, leading to a collaboration with Jamaican reggae legends the Congos and analog synth master M. Geddes Gengras for the well-received 2012 album Icon Give Thank. Stallones also led various band or trio configurations of Sun Araw for live improvisations, and performed with new age pioneer Laraaji, resulting in the 2016 release Professional Sunflow. Subsequent studio albums by Sun Araw, such as the country-inspired The Saddle of the Increate (2017) and the group improvisation Rock Sutra (2020), replaced psychedelic haze with refracted, knotty rhythms.

Originally from Austin, Texas, Stallones is a longtime resident of Long Beach, California. He played guitar and sang in the psychedelic band Magic Lantern, who began releasing music on Los Angeles-based Not Not Fun Records in 2007. His first two albums as Sun Araw, The Phynx and Beach Head, both appeared on the label in 2008, while the EP Boat Trip was released by New York-based Woodsist the same year. He remained with NNF for the 2009 full-length Heavy Deeds and a split EP with Predator Vision, as well as 2010's On Patrol LP and Sun Ark single, which shared the name with his studio and label. Additionally, a live cassette with Matthewdavid, LIVEPHREAXXX!!!!, appeared on Leaving Records, and Off Duty arrived on Woodsist (a CD edition also contained his first EP for the label).
