A crispy acoustic intro and a song that feels like a soft cool summer evening breeze, "Sullen Shade" feels like a cross between Sufjan Stevens and Jack Johnson all the while honestly sounding like Ankit Shrestha. The production and arrangements are top notch with each section planned out meticulously. Ankit has grown into a comfortable skin and zone and his own and with each new release there is a sense of confidence and openness. The synth sections are gorgeous and this is a lovely release. Nothing sullen about this dreamy track.
