The fifth album from Bahamas, Sad Hunk takes its title from a nickname bestowed upon the artist by his wife in reaction to how he was being portrayed in the media. It's a fitting backstory for an album that embodies an undaunted self-awareness, each track graced with Bahamas's wry wit and unabashed heart. In sketching Sad Hunk's delicately composed batch of songs, Jurvanen drew much inspiration from his home life and all the joy and struggle that comes with building a family together, having recently moved to the coast of Nova Scotia with his wife and two daughters. 

2018's Grammy-Nominated Earthtones saw Bahamas joining forces with bassist Pino Palladino and drummer James Gadson (the rhythm section behind D'Angelo's Black Messiah), and even merging them with his stable of longtime heavyweight musicians on Kimmel. Jurvanen created Sad Hunk with those same collaborators -- Christine Bougie (guitar), Don Kerr (drums), Mike O'Brien (bass), and Felicity Williams (vocals). Recorded by longtime producer and multi-Grammy nominee Robbie Lackritz (Feist, Jack Johnson, Robbie Robertson), Sad Hunk is the next step in Afie' virtuosic signature style of restraint as a guitarist.
