about

Completing their Creative Scotland funded EP is the fourth and final track Pass Me My Matches, a smoky, dark blues that spontaneously combusts with incendiary guitar solos inspired by artists like Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Jack White and Gary Clark Jr.

Recorded with Dave Lloyd at Lost Oscillation Studios in Leith, the track prominently features the 60’s-inspired organ sounds of band member Sean Logan, subject of the documentary Harmonic Spectrum and seen on BBC Scotland’s The Nine, the Zeppelin-esque drum grooves of Max Wilson, and the vocals, guitar and lyrics of Felix And The Sunsets’ founder Felix Christie.

Like their namesakes, Felix And The Sunsets descend into the darkness with a colourful display. Demonstrating guitarist and songwriter Felix’s flair with words, the lyrics are a classic gallows tale, told from the perspective of a repentant arsonist. The track is also the groups’ first ballad, showing a range that is a distinguishing feature of the Sunsets sound.

The single completes a diverse and accomplished EP that has received plaudits across the Scottish media scene, being picked up in the Scottish Alternative Music Awards new music round-up, Wide Days weekly playlist and SNACK magazine, and receiving wide-spread airplay and playlisting, including from Jim Gellatly on Amazing Radio, Scots Whay Hae!, Kara Conway on Celtic Music Radio.

lyrics

I'm on fire,
Fire now,
I'm on fire,
Fire now,
It's a raining,
Pouring down,
Smoke is rising,
Above the town...

The judge was distant,
I've seen my share,
My mind was smoking,
I was barely there,
Internal burning,
Was bound to tear,
They gave me life,
But I want the chair...

Purifier,
Feel the room get hot,
Thought I could change,
But I guess not,
Served my sentence,
Said I'd stop,
Pass me my matches,
I think I missed a spot...
