CD DetailsSynopsis
Product Description Darker Circles is the follow-up to The Sadies' acclaimed last album New Seasons and sees guitarist brothers Dallas and Travis Good, drummer Mike Belitsky and bassist Sean Dean again pair with legendary Jayhawk and sought-after producer Gary Louris. Furthering the focused songwriting and recording aspirations reached on New Seasons, The Sadies bring their signature blend of country, psychedelic, rock and surf into rifle-scope focus on Darker Circles, further underscoring their reputations as musicians' musicians. Always at the top of the list when discussing musical chops and live intensity, The Sadies are now more intent than ever on making their mark as songwriters. In one turn as heavy as a sledge, and on the other flitting across melodies with the ease of so many sparrows, The Sadies prove once again that denying them now is simply prolonging your conversion. So go on, pull up that screeching wooden chair that bows with your weight. Slide it up next to the turntable and drop the needle, The Sadies are a sure thing...tomorrow isn't. Similarly Requested CDs

Member CD Reviews Ray P. from GLENSIDE, PA Reviewed on 2/5/2022... Very enjoyable album. I like discovering new bands and styles. some are occasionally amazing, soemn are just very good, great listening, some are 'interesting' - those that are not maybe quite as immediate but somehow you know there is something in there that deserves more spins and discovery. i think the Sadies are that last category. I liked it. it didn't grab me and make me go 'WOW' ( like Wooden Schjips as a fine example ) but definitely one for additional listening.
CD ReviewsThe Sadies Return To Form The Delite Rancher | Phoenix, Arizona | 06/15/2010 (4 out of 5 stars) "After doing "Country Club" with John Doe, "Darker Circles" is a return to what we've come to expect from the Sadies. This release comfortably sits aside the rest of the band's Americana infused Psychedelic Rock. It has everything you'd expect from Spaghetti Western instrumentals to the strange Americana ballads that only Canadians could pull-off. The lyrics are beautifully dark. Then there's that glorious mind-melting guitar work by Dallas and Travis Good. It's hard to imagine anybody doing a better job of balancing the energy of Rock with the heart-felt sensibility of roots music. 'Another Day Again' rocks hard while 'Violet and Jeffrey Lee' has vocals that bring to mind the Byrds. 'Postcards' is filled with twang and velvety vocal harmonies. As a song writing highlight, 'Cut Corners' features that dreamy surf guitar work. On the other hand, 'Idle Tomorrows' is a song with an alt-county esthetic. As if off "O Brother, Where Art Thou?," 'Choosing To Fly' has an old-timey sentiment. The only instrumental on this album is the closer, 'Ten More Songs.' If there's a critique of this album, it's that there's nothing new here. No complaints as more of the same is more Sadies glory. Comparatively, this effort isn't quite as strong as "New Seasons" or "Favourite Colours." Still a fantastic release, it's on the tier of albums like "Stories Often Told" and "Tremendous Efforts." See them live and listen to "Darker Circles" and celebrate one of today's most exciting bands!" Beautiful Melancholia Randy | Florida | 06/14/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is a beautiful album, with haunting melodies and the gorgeous twin guitars of Dallas and Travis Good. It is also pretty depressing; if you only listen to the lyrics, it will certainly bring you down. Thankfully, the music is driving and energetic, and the harmonies are uplifting enough to keep you from spiralling down into depression. Like John Fogerty or Jay Farrar(Son Volt), The Sadies are masters of making sadness beautiful.
Highlights: "Another Year Again," "Choosing To Fly" and "Ten More Songs."" |
