Sunhouse - Swing low

Sunhouse

Sunhouse was a short-lived Nottingham based band, who released two EPs and one CD album. The band consisted of Gavin Clarke (vocals), Paul Bacon (guitar), Robert Brooks (bass) and Dominic Dillon (drums). By the time the CD, "Crazy on the Weekend" was released, the band had already split up.

Songwriter Gavin Clarke originally met film director Shane Meadows when both were working at the Alton Towers leisure park. Several years later, Meadows contacted Clarke to provide songs for the soundtrack to his low-budget film, "Small Time". Clarke quickly formed a band for the work, recruiting guitarist Paul Bacon and two former members of indie band the Telescopes, bass player Robert Brooks and drummer Dominic Dillon. The band signed a contract with Independiente Records and completed further soundtrack work for Meadows feature-length debut, Twenty-Four Seven. The limited edition Small Time EP and single "Monkey Dead" introduced the band's full-length debut, Crazy On The Weekend, released in 1998. Working with producer John Reynolds (Sinéad O'Connor), the band continued their practice of recording outside a studio environment. Their acoustic-based songs were augmented by washes of strings and organ, earning comparisons to Nick Drake, Tom Waits and Beth Orton.

Sunhouse's only album Crazy On The Weekend had some critical success, but has been deleted and is now very difficult to acquire.

Captures those feelings of crushing despair and fashions something harrowingly beautiful in words and sound.
