Product Details

The Sadies have spent decades quietly building one of the most distinctive catalogs in Canadian roots music, threading together country, psychedelia, surf, and folk in ways that defy easy categorization. Northern Passages, released in 2017 on Yep Roc, found brothers Dallas and Travis Good working at their most introspective, and the cold Ontario winter in which it was recorded seeps through every track.

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)."
