Northern Passages

Recorded in the basement of **Dallas** and **Travis'** parents' home north of Toronto over the winter of 2015, the familiar surroundings and lack of distractions resulted in a consistent feel, despite the eclecticism at the heart of **The Sadies'** sound. The Psych-Folk flourishes on tracks such as *'Riverview Fog'* are no mere homage; this is the sound of our inscrutable world, and how we manage to survive in it. **Kurt Vile** appears on *'Easy (Like Walking)'*.

**The Sadies** are a band that fans cling to like a closely guarded secret, with each new release fulfilling the promise to reach further, for all of our sakes, not just their own. With *'Northern Passages'*, the time has come to make room for more on this wild acid-folk-country-punk trip, and trust me, we'll be better off because of it.
