The Scrapes are a Queensland-based duo creating music born of a language honed over more than 15 years of playing together. Formed in Meanjin in 2009, and now based in Meanjin and Gimuy, Adam and Ryan have forged a sound all of their own that reaches out from a solid droning bedrock of electric guitar and violin. Recorded over multiple sessions since around 2015, The Sun Never Rises Over Mount Sorrow is their fourth full-length album, two mountainous sides of perilous journey to transcend and up-end.
