Crazy on the Weekend is the sole album by English indie band Sunhouse.
Working with producer John Reynolds, the band continued their practice of recording outside a studio environment, working in the producer's house in Notting Hill. [1] Their acoustic-based songs were augmented by washes of strings and organ, earning comparisons to Nick Drake, Tom Waits and Beth Orton.
Sinéad O'Connor provides backing vocals on the track "Hard Sun". [2]
Released in March 1998, Crazy on the Weekend had some critical success including a five star review in Uncut . [1] It featured in the year end best of lists for Uncut, [3] Les Inrockuptibles [4] (both unordered) and Mojo (#15). [5] Despite the critical success, the album sold poorly and the band never recorded again. Singer-songwriter Gavin Clark went on to form the band Clayhill and made several guest appearances on recordings by Unkle. Clark died in 2015.
