JC and The Tree lean fully into their foot-tapping alt-folk charm on ʻOutrun The Sunʼ, blending bushland fiddle and banjo with breezy coastal strumming and warm, sunset-hued trumpet flourishes. Thereʼs a giddy, sun-kissed optimism running through the track — equal parts sea spray and open-road freedom — that feels effortlessly uplifting rather than forced. Itʼs the kind of song that gently nudges you away from the noise of the wider world and back toward the simple, grounding pleasures that matter the most
