The Sunset Violent marks a significant evolution in Mount Kimbie's sound, transitioning from their electronic roots to a more expansive indie rock direction. Recorded in the surreal landscapes of Yucca Valley, California, and completed in London, the album captures a sense of emotional dissonance and introspection. The End Of Year Edition, released on October 24, 2024, features a limited run of petrol blue transparent vinyl, adding a tactile dimension to the immersive listening experience.
