Limited colored vinyl LP pressing. Some 25 years into his career as a recording artist, Art Alexakis - best-known as the singer-guitarist and sole songwriter behind the iconic alt-rock outfit Everclear - starts a new chapter in his remarkably prolific career as a solo artist. Creating outside of the Everclear realm also gives Alexakis the chance to explore styles and sounds that don't necessarily work for his band. His solo work continues to push the boundaries of what you can expect from an Art Alexakis composition, as no direction or source of inspiration is really off the table. For the most part, it's an acoustic singer-songwriter type of album, Alexakis says about debut Sun Songs but cites everything from classic country to hip hop to the great acoustic singer-songwriters of the 1970's as major influences for the record. I'm pushing my ability and pushing the envelope, and having fun at the same time, Alexakis adds. I've always wanted to do something like this.
