The EP features two brand new tracks alongside two remixes of songs from last year's acclaimed album Red Sunset Dreams. The Dot Allison-featuring "Sundowning" gets an almost Balearic makeover by Richard Norris which flows perfectly from "Silver River," featuring B.J. Cole, which has been turned into awe-inspiring ambient Americana by the Indianapolis collective Dawn Chorus And The Infallible Sea. The two new tracks, despite sharing a common theme with the album in terms of their sunset-themed titles, signal a change in musical mood. Both are much more propulsive and driving, inspired by Mark Peters' recent live shows which he has played as a trio with bassist Dean Roby and drummer Chris Smith. "Alpenglow" came about more recently after Mark bought a Boss RC-300 Loop Station. It has a dark, post-punk feel, like a souped-up "Shadowplay," but as it cranks into krautrock gear it could almost be Neu! with the late, great Tom Verlaine replacing Michael Rother on guitar.
