Jam-packed with hooks and catchy melodies, Gary Levitt's Setting Sun is a folksy, indie-pop hipster's dream. So listen up, PopSense, you're gonna love this! Described as "an odd atmosphere, probed by twizzling sounds and the feeling that this is the soundtrack for the aftermath of a crash landing," the sounds of Children of the Wild are composed of calming cellos and violins, wild beats, and Levitt's gentle voice.

Levitt, who fits all the hippie stereotypes at times, is less tree-hugger and more just plain bizarre. Taking his audiences on a journey from the pounding, bass-thumping 'No Devil Me No More,' to the upbeat, poppy 'Overjoyed,' Children of the Wild is at times reminiscent of the psychedelic rock bands of old, and at times the complete opposite.

"You are not plain/ Let me whisper in your brain," Levitt sings in 'How Long,' a romantic and highly addicting song. Levitt may have been singing about a lover, but in this case, trust me—Setting Sun is anything but plain.
