From the album art and artist names I was expecting some sort of weird dub/IDM LP, so I was pleasantly surprised to get a strong dose of excellent Jazz. The album name fits perfectly – this LP is evening embodied, incredibly strong nighttime vibes conveyed by perfect instrumental performances and a strong sense of melodic presence. The runtime could have flirted with disaster, but each track embodies such a different feeling that the 75-minute experience never drags or wears on the listener. I do think one has to be in the right mindset to listen to this album in full (I was stuck on a morning shift watching the sun rise, and it fit perfectly), but I hope everyone here has the chance to experience this in the right mood and feel as immersed as I did. Amazing add!

Album Summary
Sunset Mission is the third full-length record from Bohren & der Club of Gore. It is their first album to feature sax player Christoph Clöser, more explicitly exploring jazz than earlier recordings. The liner notes include a quote from Matt Wagner's Grendel comic book, which reads: "Alone in the comforting darkness the creature waits. As confusion reigns on this hellish stage, the deafening grind of machinery, the odious clot of chemical waste. Still, the trail of his ultimate prey leads through this steely maze to these, the addled offspring of the modern world."

Listen to this while reading Dashiell Hammett’s “The Maltese Falcon”. Big mood shit. Big vibes. Not too much going on, but it also is a very rich album. I enjoyed a lot. 4/5
