Jon Spencer (Jon Spencer!!!) was kind enough to intervene and rescue a song for us. It was mostly engineered by Pietro Amato (Belle Orchestre/etc.), who is great at everything he does when he's not doing something else.
The studio we worked at in Quebec is perfectly calibrated to our claustrophobia. We began this recording well over a year before the plague began and completed it in June 2021. This is, of course, totally irrelevant to your listening experience. We put in a lot of hard work but he always made it easy and fun. I think it's gotten easier to know when we are onto something and that's in no small part due to working with Richard Reed Parry (Arcade Fire/Belle Orchestre) as producer.
But just because it's harder doesn't mean it isn't better. So, all that matters is the music itself, right?Īfter making so many records, some things get easier. We certainly don't claim to have re-invented the wheel. Can't really call us modern or retro either. We aren't really 'pre or post' anything and we don't have the right hair-cuts or hats for any particular scene. In our case, comparisons can be misleading too, because The Sadies don't really fit tidily into any genre, or even sub-genre. The details of how the recording is made might be interesting, but they aren't exactly crucial to the listening process. Knowing what you're getting is all anyone really wants to know. But how do you sell sounds? The critics' voice must be heard at all costs, but this is something else entirely. A jaded and unreliable sales-pitch at best, the usual 'bio' invariably attempts to describe the project in question as some sort of second coming. Ever.Īs we all know, the 'press release' is a tool meant to announce and promote a new recording project. 'Colder Streams' is, by far, the best record that has ever been made by anyone. You can still turn around if you just stop right now When the sadness has won, then the madness comes Now your war is done, what have you become? Will you turn and run or can you stop right now?
