Description
The Charles & Eddie singer continues his comeback run with a sun-kissed balearic soul album written with and produced by John Carroll Kirby. Released on Stones Throw, Sundown builds on the sultry drum machine and Wurlitzer grooves of Pleasure, Joy and Happiness with flutes and saxophones from Lohan Hone, trombone from Elizabeth Lea, drums from Will Logan, and percussion from David Leach. A future LA classic!
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.
They wrote the first half of Sundown during that Ibiza stay and finished it at 64 Sound Studios in Los Angeles, where they both live. Joining Eddie on vocals and John on production and keys were Logan Hone (flutes and saxophones) Elizabeth Lea (trombone), Will Logan (drums) and David Leach (percussion). “It feels like we’re building our dream house,” says Eddie. “With Pleasure, Joy, and Happiness, we poured the foundation and now we’re expanding into new rooms.”
