Eddie Chacon and John Carroll Kirby wrote the first half of »Sundown« in Ibiza and finished it at 64 Sound Studios in Los Angeles, where they both live. »It feels like we’re building our dream house,« says Eddie. 2019s »Pleasure, Joy and Happiness« was meant to bring closure to a music career that began when Eddie was a teenager playing in Bay Area garage bands, and peaked in the 1990s when, as one half of the duo Charles & Eddie, he topped charts internationally with »Would I Lie To You«, before deserting the business. Eddie didn’t expect much from Pleasure’s release, and was amazed to find it resonated widely, gaining him a whole new fanbase and reinvigorating his career.

Eddie says that only at his age – 59 – could he have the life experience and quiet confidence to make »Sundown«. That this new record exists at all is a surprise to its creator. As Eddie says, »Sundown« is the follow-up I never thought I would get to make.«
