Description
Brand New (released on April 22nd 2022) 3rd album by Liverpool band Sundowners, this Sold Out Limited Signed and Numbered Edition of ‘Pulling Back The Night’ is pressed on beautiful Neon Green & Black Sunburst 12” Vinyl and has a different pattern on each side of the disc with the ‘B’ side having a more prominent green colour to it. 2 tracks were co-written with Paul Weller and further tracks were recorded with Paul Weller and drummer Steve Pilgrim.
The inner sleeve is exclusively signed by the two main band members (Fiona Skelly and Niamh Rowe) and this limited edition album is hand numbered as 240 of only 500 examples made. This Limited Edition variant was available to pre-order earlier on this year and completely sold out within a couple of days.
The album is new and unplayed. There is a small abrasion on the paper inner sleeve where the vinyl has pushed against the edge of the rather fragile of the inner sleeve and a tiny breech at the bottom (see images 9 and 10). This is how it was when I received it in the post along with another copy I sold a couple of days ago that had suffered from a similar issue.
The photographs shown are of the actual item for sale.
Description below:
The group's opening two albums - their 2015 debut, and 2017's follow-up 'Cut The Master' - epitomised psychedelic pop, while exploring other tones and hues.
Five become two, with Sundowners re-focussing on original members Fiona Skelly and Niamh Rowe to find a forward path.
The band's third album 'Pulling Back The Night' is out on April 22nd, and it infuses their psychedelic spirit with elements of Americana, folk, and more.
Collaborative in spirit - guests include Paul Weller, Steve Craddock and members of The Coral - the title track is online now.
A glorious return, the track is hued in sunset flames, with its acoustic tapestry augmented by soaring harmonies and neat guitar elements.
'Pulling Back The Night' was sculpted alongside Clean Cut Kid, and leads in to the exciting return of this vital partnership.
Sundowners third album ‘Pulling Back The Night’ comes seeped in 70’s vibes via shimmering heat haze and beaching on Merseyside’s shores. This exclusive Blood Records release comes on neon green and black starburst effect LP, signed by the band and hand-numbered on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Members Fiona Skelly and Niamh Rowe reveal the first single (titled the same as the album), co-written with indie-pop powerhouse, Clean Cut Kid, from their third long-player, one sculpted in collaborative spirit with Paul Weller, Steve Craddock and members of The Coral.
Written and recorded around the Wirral, Liverpool and Surrey, and mixed by James Skelly, a sense of beautiful yearning pervades the free-flowing alt-folk of Pulling Back The Night, moored in choppy waters at the confluence of pain and joy. Sundowners explain the single in brief, saying: “Tumultuous lovers whose strengths are their weaknesses. Sick with self-destruction and the only cure is each other.”
Influences including Jackson Browne, Shangri La’s, Rolling Stones, Mapache, Drug Dealer, Weyes Blood, Kacy and Clayton and Marlon Williams can, by Skelly and Rowe’s open admission, claim a place amongst the constituency of greats whose weight is felt across Pulling Back The Night.
As well as Mike and Evelyn of Clean Cut Kid joining Sundowners for the first single, Pulling Back The Night’s impressive list of collaborations can now be revealed, starting with two tracks co-written with Paul Weller, titled Night Watcher and A Thousand Doors, alongside further tracks recorded with Weller and drummer Steve Pilgrim. The Coral’s Nick Power shares credits on I’m Not The Oneas Steve Craddock joins on guitars, Skelly takes a co-writing and performing position on Wild Sisters, while their bandmate, the multi-instrumentalist Paul Molloy appears on five out of ten.
Please note that Blood Records is a pre-ordering platform and this record is due for release on April 22nd 2022.
