This won't be the first time we've sung the praises of Bill Baird--a.k.a. {{{Sunset}}}--on this blog, and this probably won't be the last.Last year, Baird released three albums under this project, making it nothing short of prolific. These twisted, home-recorded ballads and instrumentals have got guys like Tom Waits and Beck on speed dial. There are some psych pop premonitions hanging in the air,
Austin's Sunset was formed by Bill Baird, formerly of the band sound team, whose Movie Monster was an underrated classic when it came out a couple years or so ago. Sadly, the band broke up and Baird (who has an amazing recording studio in Austin) formed this new project. On November 24th, they've got a beauty of an album coming out called Gold Dissolves To Gray on their hometown based Autobus
Having already heard a few songs ( "Pocketful of Debt" and "Fishtown" ) from Sunset 's upcoming release Gold Dissolves to Gray , Bill Baird decided to shoot a video for another song using 8mm footage of the band . Watch "Rivers of Babylon" and purchase the new album via Autobus on Nov. 24th.
Here's a new video from Sunset, this one for "Rivers Of Babylon" from their new album Gold Dissolves to Gray. This is the fourth full length from Sunset in two years, due to be released on November 24 via Autobus Recs . Bill Baird posted a bit of info about the album on Sunset's Blogtime : "Also, we have a new album coming out November 24th! "Gold Dissolves to Gray," which was just called a "beauty of an album" (Some Velvet Blog), is available on 180gram lp with c.d. inserted. Also available as a c.d. with [...]
Inevitably, a love of coverage leads to a constant, ever-vigilant search for thoughtful, well-crafted reinterpretation. I spend hours each week mining full albums for the hidden cover song, and scanning MySpace and email inbox for the promotional, the one-off acoustic in-studio radio track, and the otherwise unreleased singleton, and the endless discovery is eminently worth the pursuit. But there's no question that tribute albums are the cover lover's bread and butter. I gather these things in like truffles, and hold a special place for them in my heart and in my [...]

Kort na elkaar verschijnen twee interessante tributes. Het eerste is Ciao My Shining Star: The Songs Of Mark Mulcahy . Mulcahy is natuurlijk de man van de Miracle Legion die na het uiteenvallen van de band ook nog een aantal interessante solo-albums uitbracht.
