Sunset Season is the debut extended play by American singer-songwriter and social media personality Conan Gray. It was released under Republic Records on November 16, 2018. Sunset Season was primarily produced by Dan Nigro and co-produced by Conan Gray, who also wrote and composed the five-track EP. Gray released "Idle Town", "Generation Why", and "Crush Culture" as singles. The EP peaked at number two on the US Heatseeker Albums.
Gray has cited Lorde's debut album, Pure Heroine , as a major inspiration for the EP because of its small-town nostalgia. [1]
