Melbourne's Saskwatch are excited to announce their third studio album Sorry I Let It Come Between Us which will be released via Northside Records / Remote Control Records on Friday 12th of June 2015. Last night the band premiered their brand new single 'I'll Be Fine' via Richard Kingsmill's 2015 program on triple j and today they premiered the video via The Music.
Saskwatch today also announce the departure of original members Will, Sam, Nic and Ed (horn section and drums). Generally speaking, a change of pace is known to be a remedy for the soul. So how fitting it is that Melbourne's soul outfit Saskwatch have returned with a new album and a new lineup, ready and willing to take you down another path. Their latest offering, Sorry I Let It Come Between Us, is an evolutionary one at that. Shifting and sliding between guitar heavy pop, bluesy melancholy and soulful ballads, the new album offers an emotionally assertive voice matched equally in musical intricacies.
The album itself was recorded over a month long period at Mt Slippery - an old silversmith warehouse come recording studio on the outskirts of Philadelphia, America. It's the studio of Dr Dog's Scott McMicken and Nathan Sabatino, who together produced the album. Saskwatch have long been big fans of Dr Dog, both musically and in their work as producers, and relished at the chance to head overseas and work alongside them. The result: a raw, solemn and sparse collection of genre-jumping songs.
The first single off the album 'I'll Be Fine' is reminiscent of the upbeat Saskwatch we know and love. It's an optimistic and fuzzy three minutes that serves as a great preface for the ten tracks to follow. To celebrate the release of 'I'll Be Fine', Saskwatch will take their new six-piece line-up on the road for the very first time, playing a string of show dates on the East Coast of Australia throughout April. Full tour dates and ticket information can be found below.
Saskwatch's new album Sorry I Let It Come Between Us will be available on limited edition vinyl and CD and is available to pre-order via iTunes today.
