It may too early for Christmas, but A Legendary Christmas should be a good one when that time rolls around.
Saves The Day is a curious band. 20 years in and they are still acting like it’s day one. 9 is an album all about nostalgia. It celebrates the band’s time in the most obvious way possible—breaking the fourth wall and saying so directly.
Here’s examples from the first two songs:
Oh yeah we’re writing a record
Oh yeah you’re gonna love it, you’ll know it forward and backward.
We’ll get it stuck in your head every day on your way to work on time
The Windows down you’ll sing as loud as you can
You know we love it when you sing along
Turn it up we’re Saves The Day
- “Saves The Day” track 1
On a black and red couch, playing a burgundy Les Paul I played on Can’t Slow Down so many years ago, writing album number 9 right now.
- “Suzuki” track 2
This unfamiliar awareness isn’t the only curious thing, however. The last song is 21 minutes long, with seven parts. Enjoy.
