Jon Foreman’s new release, Sunlight, (due out May 29th) is the first in a four EP project based on a song for each hour of the day, which will collectively be called The Wonderlands. The EP’s will be titled Sunlight, Shadows, Darkness and Dawn. This is the second four EP release Foreman has created. The first collection were titled Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer and were released in their appropriate season beginning in November of 2007. The release dates are as follows:
- The Wonderlands: Sunlight EP – release date 5.26.15
- The Wonderlands: Shadows EP – release date 7.17.15
- The Wonderlands: Darkness EP – release date 9.4.15
- The Wonderlands: Dawn EP – release date 10.23.15
Joining him on this project are 24 producers and 50 musicians including Foster the People and Grouplove. Foreman spent over 1000 hours and 10 years working on the concept. Sunlight is quiet, but moving. Sophisticated, yet simple. Beautiful and eccentric, while remaining pleasant to any palate. Songs on Sunlight include Terminal, The Mountain, You Don’t Know How Beautiful You Are, Caroline, Patron Saint of Rock and Roll and All of God’s Children.
“Come surrender/Your hidden scars/Leave your weapons/Where they are/You’ve been hiding/But I know your wounded heart/You don’t know how beautiful you are.” Jon Foreman – You Don’t Know How Beautiful You Are
“
“Through song, I’m trying to explore the physical space of music. I wanted to
create a place that would exist only when you press play; a place of light and
shadows, tension and release, things that you know and things that you don’t
know. It’s incredible that you can create a mood, almost a structure of feeling.
All 24 songs will correspond with different moods of the day. At the end I’m
going to do 25 concerts in 24 hours.” – Jon Foreman on The Wonderlands
