Sultan + Shepard Announce Trilogy Album to Arrive on This Never Happened Label in Spring 2024

Melodic house duo Sultan + Shepard have posted a release date and tracklist for their forthcoming album ‘Endless, Dawn.’

One year after the release of their last album, Grammy-nominated Canadian house producers Sultan + Shepard (Ossama Al Sarraf and Ned Shepard) will return with their next project. The duo have announced that ‘Endless, Dawn’ will be released on March 1st 2024 on Lane 8’s This Never Happened label. This release will mark their third LP on the label and fifth overall since they started releasing music together in 2009.

The tracklist for the album has been unveiled as well, featuring 14 songs divided up into sides A, B, C, and D. This unique format is carried over from their last album, ‘Forever, Now,’ as is their decision to close out the album with the title track. A few highlights include collaborations with Elderbrook and Shallou as well as with frequent collaborators Tishmal, Julia Church, and Nathan Nicholson.

‘Endless, Dawn’ will serve as the final installment of what Sultan + Shepard consider to be their trilogy of This Never Happened albums. Of the previous two, the duo noted, “‘Something, Everything’, felt like the planting of roots, the beginning of an exciting new journey in our lives where everything felt possible. ‘Forever, Now’ was a continuation of this feeling, a sequel if you will, and marked an inspired artistic moment, where we were just free in each moment to create anything.”

But, as the title suggests, they don’t feel that this final installment represents the end of anything, per se. “This album helped us realize that nothing really ever ends, it just keeps changing, and each time we sit down to create something, or start anything new in our lives, there are an endless number of new possibilities and new roads to go down. And wherever we choose to go will lead us to another world of possibilities, in an endless thread of new beginnings. We can’t wait for you all to hear it.”

“Under the Surface,” the first single from the forthcoming project, has been released as well to give fans a taste of what’s to come. The song is true to form for Sultan + Shepard, combining thoughtful lyrics with atmospheric rhythms and transcendent melodies. Check out the new single below.
