Eddie Chacon – Sundown
Now signed to Peanut Butter Wolf’s iconic Stones Throw Records, Eddie Chacon continues his triumphant return to music with Sundown, a collection of balearic downtempo soul songs written and produced in collaboration with John Carroll Kirby. “In 2021, Eddie Chacon and John Carroll Kirby decamped to Ibiza for two weeks. There, they rented the island’s only Fender Rhodes from one of the local rave crews. John posted it against the plaster walls and concrete floors of their temporary home, which was set into a green hillside overlooking a beach called Siesta. As they worked on Sundown, Pharoah Sanders’s ‘Greeting to Saud’ was a daily listen. Instead of emulating its sound, Eddie absorbed its deeper lesson – that simplicity wins out over virtuosity every time.”
