Toronto's cosmic cowboys The Sadies are serving up another batch of genre-bending rock 'n' roll on "Favourite Colours", their second release on Yep Roc. Recorded at WaveLab in Tucson, The Woodshed in Toronto, and Greg Keelor's farm between the band's grueling tour schedule, The Sadies have managed to combine country, '60's psychedelia, surf, punk and bluegrass and transform it into their own uniquely organic sound on these 13 original tracks. Longtime fans will notice there are more vocals and a greater emphasis on Good brothers Dallas and Travis' effortless harmonies. Sadies friends/collaborators Greg Keelor, Joey Burns, Rick White and Paul Brianerd all make appearances, while Robyn Hitchcock sings lead (and composed the lyrics) for the closing track, "Why Would Anybody Live Here?". "Favourite Colours", with its heady harmonies, wistfully beautiful melodies and jaw-dropping musicianship, is an album that should finally bring The Sadies the acclaim they so richly deserve.
