SITDOWNTRACY – Twenty Something Winters


Sitdowntracy’s second album is quite an improvement from their first. The melodies are catchier, the vocals are more tuned up, the production quality is higher (might I add it was mastered by Harris Newman, who has also mastered albums for Arcade Fire?). In fact, the only thing the first one had better than Twenty Something Winters is that with Roaring Noon more effort was put into the album art. With Twenty Something Winters, Sitdowntracy dropped the guitar oriented Woodstock-type sound and aimed more for a ‘60s pop/folk/psychedelic sound. This album taps into many different emotions during its 40 minute run time, starting out with some happy pop-folky sounds, then tapping into your mellow side with a ‘60s psychedelic pop feel. By “Tonight,” Twenty Something Winters takes on a more eery approach, with the track sounding like something that came out of a twisted clown skit at the circus. The album ends off on a much happier note, with “All of the Days Sing All the Time.” You could say this album has a sort of… sandwich effect. It starts off sounding one way, then moving into another, and returning back to the happy sound from the beginning. (Independent, sitdowntracy.ca) Shanell Dupras
