General Note:

"Cranfield and Slade: 12 Sun Songs" is a yellow vinyl album made up of covers of pop songs about the sun. Aping a 1970s concept album Cranfield and Slade present twelve songs arranged to represent a day, beginning with songs about sunrise and winding down with songs about sunsets. Tracks range from classics such as George Harrison<U+2019>s "Here Comes the Sun" and The Kinks<U+2019> "Waterloo Sunset," to the lesser-known "Sun" by singer-songwriter Margot Guryan or "Where Evil Grows" by Vancouver<U+2019>s The Poppy Family. The album combines field recordings made in various Vancouver locations with electronic sound and acoustic and electric instruments."--Publisher's statement.

"Based in rainy Vancouver, Cranfield and Slade are made up of visual artist Kathy Slade and artist/musician Brady Cranfield, working with musicians including Larissa Loyva (Piano, Kellarissa), Johnny Payne (Victoria Victoria, The Shilos), and Chris Harris (Piano, Parks and Rec, The Secret Three, Womankind); and special guests John Collins (The New Pornographers, The Evaporators) and artist Rodney Graham (The Rodney Graham Band, UJ3RK5)."--Publisher's statement.

The liner notes for 12 Sun Songs were written by celebrated Canadian poet and critic Peter Culley.

Oversize artists' books are shelved in the archives.
