Sundown is the debut album by Los Angeles cowpunk band Rank and File, released in 1982 on Slash Records.
Critic Robert Christgau gave it an "A−" in his Consumer Guide,[2] while Trouser Press called the album "effortlessly enjoyable," citing its "tuneful and tasty pop numbers, which also benefit from pretty harmonies and confident playing.
"[3] It was voted one of the best albums of the year in the Village Voice's influential Pazz & Jop critics poll.
[4] In 2003, Rhino Handmade, an imprint of Rhino Entertainment, compiled Sundown, the band's second album, Long Gone Dead, and bonus tracks on a CD entitled The Slash Years.
Again on its own, Sundown was reissued on vinyl by Drastic Plastic Records in 2020.
