Sunlust was birthed in early 2018 in Toronto, Canada by Stephanie Woulfe (guitar and vocals), Dan Wiktor (drums) and Stefano Signorile (bass). Stephanie moved to Toronto from her small hometown in rural Ontario in 2017 looking to pursue music and find like-minded band mates to play her songs. In a short couple of months, a Kijiji classified ad lead to drummer Dan who was excited to join a thriving Toronto rock scene. After meeting and jamming, Dan recruited friend Stefano Signorile to play bass and the trio formed Sunlust.
Drawing from a variety of influences, including grunge, garage, punk, classic rock, and alternative, the trio began their musical journey playing live shows extensively throughout the city. Sunlust has had the pleasure of playing live with notable bands Ready the Prince, Zig Mentality, Frankie the Pig, Joe Cool, and Barry Lyndon to name a few.
With dozens of shows behind them, Sunlust began recording what was planned to be their 5-track debut EP in December 2019 with the help of engineer, mixer, and producer Lorne Hounsell. Lorne is best known for his work with Fucked Up, Cuff the Duke, Bedouin Soundclash, amongst other notable Canadian artists. As the EP progressed and the 2020 pandemic slowed down the live music scene, the band began recording an additional 5 songs with Dan’s brother and the band’s good friend Jack Wiktor at Cadence House in Toronto.
In early 2021, all 10 tracks were completed and compiled to make the LP ‘Geek Confessions’, with Side A being the songs done with Lorne Hounsell and side B being the 2nd session with Jack Wiktor.

SLUMB – Come & Get It (feat. C.W Jones)
SLUMB has released their new video for the track titled ‘Come & Get It’. That smooth vibe and steady groove hit you right in the feels when combines with that weathered vocal style. This is a song to remember and define a memory with. Julien Marchal and Senbeï form a rich combination of talents only found in the best of the best. Genre hopping never felt so effortless and free of constraints and limits.
The video is a lucid mix of surreal and unexpected artistic liberties that form a yin to the music’s yang with bright cinematic flair and poetic underscore.
About SLUMB & ‘Come & Get It’
SLUMB combines Senbeï’s electronic sound explorations with Asian accents that go hand in hand with Julien Marchal’s refined piano.
Draped in adventurous poetry, SLUMB explores a musical universe made of sobriety and vaporous harmonies. As if Erik Satie met Burial, the melodies of pianist Julien Marchal marry the instrumentals of the producer Senbeï in an Electronica tinged with melancholy pop.
This is evident in the first single ‘Come and Get It’ from the new project featuring UK artist CW Jones. The song and video follow the story of a young man struggling with his addiction to painkillers while hallucinating in the streets of Moscow.
Directed by Russian filmmaker Andrei Bulatchik, (whose own career kicked off working on The Revenant directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu), the video takes you on a hypnotic and crazy journey following the main character through Moscow.
The song is a mixture of lavish vocals alongside CW’s ever insightful and tactful rapping, fuses the song together creating something fresh and unique, amidst a back story on the all too familiar subject addressing mental health.
This single falls ahead of SLUMB’s album release ‘Play Dead’ dropping on the 16th of April. Come and Get It is out on Friday 26th February. Buy links are HERE.
