Internal Sounds
The Sadies took their time for *Internal Sounds*; they were determined to finish the album on their own terms and not have it taken away from them due to deadlines or budget constraints. The Toronto-based band admits that the record might suffer in the “immediacy” department due to this extra care—but it’s apparent The Sadies recoup beautifully in having their songs fully realized. The musicianship here never lacks for firepower or finesse. The uptempo country-rock of “Another Tomorrow Again” features layers of guitars doing what they do best and gliding into admirable solos when the breaks show up. Harmonies throughout the album are note-perfect and recall The Meat Puppets at their most desert-bound. Frontman Dallas Good (alone in the producer’s chair for the first time) keeps everyone in focus and grabs none other than Buffy Sainte-Marie for the dramatic psyched-out campfire finale, “We Are Circling.”
The Sadies, Canada's hardest working band, return with their new album Internal Sounds, available in stores and online October 1st. Internal Sounds was recorded in Toronto and produced solely by the band’s Dallas Good. "There was a conscious effort to deliver a finished product that doesn't suffer from a deadline or budget. We made the record over a span of a year, in session for twenty+ days. We spent every dime we had and used up every favour. There is always a sense of immediacy to our records, maybe because we make a lot of albums. I didn't want that this time" says Good. Internal Sounds also features another Canadian legend, Buffy Sainte-Marie, who contributes her haunting vocals to the closing track “We Are Circling.”
The Sadies have been their own band, seemingly everyone else's band, and an almost limitlessly flexible band.
