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."

It's Sunday, February 26 1933. You're in Berlin At a Jazz club. You have a bad feeling. But you're also very horny.

Interesting... I started listening to this not having any idea what it was at the gym and decided it was a kind of dark jazz, then when I looked at the Wikipedia later saw it was indeed dark jazz... which I didn't know was a thing. Reminds me of something Duke Silver would play. I liked it!

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!

Apple Music said this was ‘alternative’ but I found it to be laid back slowly evolving jazz. Wikipedia described it as DARK JAZZ which is extremely badass. Good listen better genre

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

Jazz, dark ambient. Agradable pero muy lento. Ni fu ni fa.

What a vibe wasn’t sure at first as I was putting up Christmas decorations. Kind of made it melancholy but nostalgic at the same time. Cool stuff.

Sunset Mission is a noir jazz album. Also ambient is stated everywhere, but that is the tempo and atmosphere, not the style. It is a nice album with soundscapes that fit perfectly to a film noir movie. That is also a bit my problem with this album as it sounds like background music. It doesn't really grab your attention. Still very entertaining and southing music.

Frequently asked question, is this a new song yet? Ambient with sax I guess? Fine but it just faded into the background for me. Maybe more active listening or a more sophisticated palate on my part would have revealed a greater depth.

Dark, slow jazz. Both kind of cool to hear a modern spin, yet still unbearably boring

Sunset Mission brings moody, dark jazz to the party. Not really a party though, it's just background music. 2.
