The Sadies- Darker Circles

This is an album I’ve been listening to for a couple months, but had no intentions of reviewing until Jeff at Country Standard Time asked me to take a run at it. It challenged me, without doubt. It is an album that is a bit overwhelming, but I managed to get my thoughts together after a couple abandoned attempts. The review is now up at CST: http://tinyurl.com/2erobf5. The album wasn’t on my initial Polaris ballot, but did make my second round ticket- it is one of ten finalists for the Polaris Music Prize to be awarded in late September.
