philbarton This speaks to me. I can't stop listening to it. I've fallen in love with it. I can't go a day without hearing it. Heartbreakingly beautiful yet uplifting music. It's getting me through each day at the moment. Why don't I hear music this good on my radio? The world has been ruined by money. Thank you Sugarfoot xx Favorite track: Santa Ana (Hats off to Shakey).

Jordan Sovereign The band continue to make great songs at an incredible pace. They have a formula that works, combining great harmonies, thoughtful lyrics and a driving musical landscape, check out All Dried Up and take flight. Favorite track: All Dried Up.

Nerve Salad This is in among my favorite albums ever. Period. So highly praised and valued, I shudder to think what my life would be like without it. Thanks, gents!

about

180 G x 2 gold, white & transparent green vinyl mixed (CD included)

As sure as the seasons change, springtime has turned into new-album-season for Norway’s Sugarfoot. “The Santa Ana” is the band’s fourth album, released exactly one year after 2016’s “Different Stars”.

Quite early in the writing process it was decided that the boys wanted to return to Joshua Tree and Rancho De La Luna to seek the peace, quiet and inspiration needed for their recording sessions. This time, however, they wanted to reinforce the Californian imprint on their music even further. To do so they drew up the following creative dogma for themselves: to record and mix an album of all new material within the limits of two weeks.

Compared to last year’s sessions, this meant deadlines on a totally different level. There would be no room for postponing production details for later. Decisions had to be made on the spot, songs had to be picked and eliminated, and all arrangements, lyrics etc. had to be worked out in advance.

Fourteen new songs were recorded in seven days, thirteen of which can be found on “The Santa Ana”. The following week the band spent in L.A., where Noah Shain mixed the new record in his White Buffalo Studio.

It’s safe to say that never before have Sugarfoot let go of this much control. Rather than relying on time and the limitless possibilities of a modern studio, the band was back to trusting their musical instincts. As a result, the music sounds fresher. It probably also has a slightly rougher edge to it than before, but still with all its harmonic and melodic qualities intact.

I've always been on the fence about Elder. The musicianship was always there but it never clicked. Omens and Innate Passage have certainly changed that. QNdNas7kQgBG5fi

If Wooden Shjips traded their sails for a prairie schooner, this is what you might hear them playing around the campfire at night on the Great Plains: homespun country-rock with a hint of psychedelia. Wonderful stuff, from start to finish. neu-mann
