Under The Sun' is the 2023 album from The Wanton Bishops, a band by every definition of the word, but primarily the vision of one eclectic man - Nader Mansour. The album is an exploration of identity and ultimately a love letter to his hometown Beirut, capturing Nader's kaleidoscopic life journey through a melting pot of musical influence; primarily gutsy blues-rock but with tinges of psychedelia, surf-rock, dance, as well as the Lebanese influences of Nadar's hometown. "It's Lebanese Rock", adds Nader, "a new genre, a blueprint for future music. It's not fusion, it's confusion, it's not world music, it's rock music from the world, for the world".

Following the release of The Wanton Bishops' debut album 'Sleep With The Lights On', a Delta blues record inspired by the likes of RL Burnside and Muddy Waters, Nader journeyed to America's deep south to experience the roots of Mississippi blues. The experience spawned a musical epiphany for Nader, as he returned home to Lebanon a changed man with a newly inspired musical vision. Nader's music slowly emerged from the Delta swamps into the Lebanese mountains, and the music of The Wanton Bishops began to reflect Nader's homeland, his people, and his personal journey. To quote Nader, "I'm finally getting to the core of the music I want to create, and that core is scarily confused, yet uniquely special, much like our own identity as Lebanese people living in Beirut, that eternal cultural crossroad."
