Lemon Cotton Candy Sunset is the solo debut of Richard Edwards, known for over a decade prior as the man behind the thoughtful indie rock of Margot & the Nuclear So and So's. It's not really a solo debut in a strict sense - Edwards was always his band's singer, main songwriter, and sole consistent member, and a number of guest musicians join him here. What's significant is that it's the first album under his own name, and one that follows a period of personal upheaval. After releasing Margot's fifth LP, Sling Shot to Heaven, in 2014, Edwards was diagnosed with C. diff, a potentially life-threatening infection that led to sudden weight loss, the cancellation of a sold-out tour, and abdominal surgery. During the ordeal, he and his wife also divorced, and Edwards tossed material he'd been working on, opting to start from scratch. A very personal album, Lemon Cotton Candy Sunset addresses the aftermath of those events, and, with the aid of producer Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, Cass McCombs), does so with an elegant, twilight-hued tone, as evoked by the record's title
