The Sadies
Darker Circles

Rating:

Take one look at the cover of Darker Circles, The Sadies' new album, and it's clear that a square band is making moody moves, trying to muddy up their retro reputation. The album proves more successful than its lazy and garish cover in that respect; though by no means an unexpected departure from their rootsy template, Darker Circles is a respectable collection of solid, somber alt-country songs.
