Sonny & the Sunsets hail from lovely, foggy San Francisco., Love & Death is the band’s debut and showcases two of their very best tunes. ‘Death Cream’ is borne of comics culture; it plays out like an apocalyptic zombie sex noir death tale from the EC days of yore, or a mutant b-side from The Who Sell Out. ‘Strange Love’ is an earnest, reverb drenched ode to 50’s pop, loneliness, and prickly fetishes. Danny Dusk recorded both songs in the Sunsets’ HQ in San Francisco.
Love & Death is limited to 300 copies. Chris Johanson illustrations adorn the sleeve. A wonderful comic book, Death of the Self in the Long Tearless Night, penned by Sonny & inked by Raphi, which chronicles Sonny’s life and trials during the start of the Sunsets, is included with every copy.
