In their album 12 Sun Songs, Vancouver artist-musicians Brady Cranfield and Kathy Slade cover 12 popular sun-themed songs from the 1960s and 1970s, such as George Harrison's "Here Comes the Sun" and Sunrise” by Pete Townshend. They have been selected in such a way as to create a repertoire that makes it possible to follow the daily curve of the sun, from dawn to dusk. Cranfield and Slade is formed by visual artist Kathy Slade and artist-musician Brady Cranfield, in collaboration with Larissa Loyva (Piano, Kellarissa), Johnny Payne (Victoria Victoria, The Shilos), Chris Harris (Piano, Parks and Rec, The Secret Three, Womankind), John Collins (The New Pornographers, The Evaporators) and artist Rodney Graham (The Rodney Graham Band, UJ3RK5). The dust jacket text was written by Canadian poet and critic Peter Culley.
