| About Seconds On End |
|
Always pilgrims of stoke, Seconds On End has earned a reputation from their loyal and growing fanbase as one of the gems of the Bay Area music scene. Since 2002 they have been captivating audiences with their intoxicating blend of original psychedelic rock, funk, reggae, and great songwriting. The band is currently in the process of producing their third album, due in 2008. Seconds On End’s 2nd album, “Shadowland,” was released October 22, 2005. Shadowland has a unique yet reminiscent sound distilled into this gorgeous production of the 21st century. Featuring several singers, songwriters, and a slew of amazing musicians, this album is more deeply rewarding with each listen. Colorful, with a very wide palette of textures, styles, sounds, and emotions it opens with the catchy “Woman Be Free”. This fun tune with its driving hook could easily get it placed in a ‘Roxy’ surfer-girl video. The title track “Shadowland” features Carrie Adler, whose vocals have been compared to Linda Thompson (Richard and Linda Thompson) and Sandy Denny (Fairport Convention). Carrie’s concert level oboe playing is sprinkled throughout the album bringing a rarely heard sound for any rock band. The minor masterpiece “Treading Water” draws lyrically on the deep emotional wells and lifelong friendships born of personal tragedies which occurred during the making of the album. Diving deeper in to the album one finds gems such as the sprawling, epic "Magnetic North" and the mysterious, subtle anti-war piece, “Shadowrung,” featuring electronica rhythms done on acoustic guitar...This band writes great songs and displays telepathic band chemistry in their improvisations while taking the listener on a truly rewarding journey which is often fun but never superficial.
