Eric Jerardi’s single “Setting Sun” has been selected by Immersive Audio Album (IAA) as one of The Best Dolby Atmos Songs of Summer 2026, placing Jerardi alongside an impressive group of artists that includes Peter Gabriel, the Grateful Dead, David Bowie, and others featured on IAA’s exclusive ten-track summer list.
The recognition specifically honors “Setting Sun” and its immersive Dolby Atmos presentation mixed by Michael James, marking another exciting milestone for Jerardi as his music reaches listeners through one of the industry’s most innovative audio formats.
Immersive Audio Album is a leading destination for immersive audio, providing news, editorial coverage, reviews, and high-resolution music for listeners passionate about Dolby Atmos and surround sound. As spatial audio continues to reshape how music is produced and experienced, IAA has become an important resource for discovering standout releases and the artists, producers, and engineers behind them.
For its Best Dolby Atmos Songs of Summer 2026 feature, the IAA editorial team selected just ten tracks that stood out during its summer listening sessions — recordings chosen to showcase the impact and potential of immersive audio.
IAA describes the selections as tracks capable of pushing a home theater system to its full potential, whether heard through a dedicated 7.1.4 loudspeaker setup or a calibrated binaural headphone system.
For Jerardi, the selection of “Setting Sun” is particularly meaningful.
Known for music rooted in blues, rock, soul, and deeply expressive musicianship, Jerardi has consistently focused on creating recordings that capture the emotion and energy of a live performance. Dolby Atmos provides an entirely new canvas for that approach, surrounding the listener with instruments, vocals, ambience, and sonic detail in a three-dimensional musical environment.
“Setting Sun” demonstrates how Jerardi’s music can translate into that immersive space, giving listeners an opportunity to experience the song from a new perspective while preserving the performance at its core.
Being selected alongside legendary artists such as Peter Gabriel, the Grateful Dead, and David Bowie makes the recognition even more significant.
From landmark catalog recordings receiving new immersive treatments to contemporary independent artists exploring the possibilities of object-based mixing, the Summer 2026 list reflects just how quickly Dolby Atmos is changing the listening experience.
And now, Eric Jerardi’s “Setting Sun” is part of that conversation.
