Sadurn are gearing up for their anticipated sophomore album, 'The Underworld' (arriving this Friday October 16th via Run For Cover Records) and now the indie folk band have shared the record's phenomenal opening track, 'the weight'.
'The Underworld' follows Sadurn's acclaimed 2022 debut album, 'Radiator', and it expands the band's graceful blend of alt-country, bedroom pop, and intimate indie rock, while leaning even deeper into songwriter G DeGroot's heartrendingly personal lyrical honesty. The result is one of the most deeply human albums you'll hear this year, a document of hard-earned catharsis that somehow feels at once grounded and miraculous.
DeGroot discussed the new song, saying:
"I’m incredibly proud of this song. Jon’s guitar solo on the recording is probably my favorite moment on this whole record—we record things live all together, but we had it set up so that he could overdub the solo if he wanted, just to take the pressure off. But what he played in that take with us was so powerful and just like, embodied the emotion of the song so intensely, that it was no question we had to keep it.
And yeah this is another song about gay heartbreak, I’m not sorry about it. There’s so much pain in that moment where you are reckoning with the end of a relationship, especially because it’s usually never clean—you oscillate, you can’t comprehend the deterioration of something so beautiful and meaningful, you want to fight for it. The weight of the decision is so overwhelming, it can feel like you’re breaking under it. That’s what I was processing, that’s what this song captures, I hope."
