Not often is it that acoustic music like this can be so emotionally powerful, but the slow-burning beauty of ‘Winter Sun’ is something completely undeniable. It premiered over on Hillydilly a moment ago, but can now be streamed below.

Speaking on the new track Maybug (aka Joseph Dunn) said: “It was especially sunny during the December of 2012, and so I spent a lot time walking and running, thinking and reflecting on my recent life and I came up with this poem which is almost me talking to the sun (and also talking to myself) saying thanks for the beautiful weather at a difficult time.”

Taking up classical guitar lessons in primary school at the age of 9, years of recitals and exams followed, coupled with a daily dose of Nick Drake’s Pink Moon, Outkast’s The Love Below and Damien Rice’s O. Joseph continued until around the age of 15, where he then began writing and playing his own songs, all leading towards him becoming the artist he is today.

After dropping out of University for the second time at 21, Joseph then travelled across Europe in a van, writing and performing. It was during this trip that he decided to focus solely on his music, and Maybug was born. Upon his return, Joseph started recording and sharing songs via his SoundCloud and working on his debut E.P, ‘Pollen Odyssey’, set for release this September.

Maybug‘s debut EP ‘Pollen Odyssey’ is out September 18th
