The Sadies' New Season a "Fricke's Pick" for Rolling Stone December 7, 2007, 1:32 pm
"We're still tripping on what we have left behind": When guitarist-brothers Travis and Dallas Good of Canadian band the Sadies sing that line on New Seasons (Yep Roc), they mean it as remorse. It also works as invitation. The Sadies make great modernist prairie-rock records. But here they build fresh, bracing psychedelia from the paisley-tremolo guitars of the '65 Charlatans and the fine whine and tight-curl licks of the '68-'69 Byrds. The history is obvious; the motion is all forward.
