[[£5 // Edition of 10 // https://deesada.bandcamp.com/album/fragments]]
This has a release date on Bandcamp of January 10, 2014 (which was my son's second birthday) and yet it came up in my recent searches for cassettes just now so I can only assume it was posted to Bandcamp after the fact. It also should be noted that the price to download this is the same as the cassette though you have to international shipping on the cassette if you're like me and live outside of the UK. (Dee Sada is from London as per the Bandcamp page info)
As a cassette this an edition of ten and while it states they will all be fluorescent green they will be hand numbered and have individual covers which is always an interesting touch when putting out such a limited cassette as this. (Perhaps the EP was released in January and it's just making its way to cassette now?)
What matters here though is the music and it's beautiful. There is a certain sound of acoustic guitar and vocals happening, but there are other various instruments going on at times as well and that just adds to the overall appeal of it, as it's not just straight up anything but rather more of a blend.
Artists like Polly Scattergood (who I do hear in everything these days, yes) and Heavy Boots come out as well as just the dreamier side of rock that can be traced back to the likes of Cowboy Junkies and Mazzy Star. It's really that these two sort of genres combine themselves with just so much more that I can't even begin to describe and it is in that way that the music of Dee Sada forges its own path.
You know, it's really not often that an artist like this comes along. You feel so familiar with them as the music can channel some of your favorites and best known artists, yet at the same time it doesn't really sound like anyone else and just really becomes their own. The last time I can remember feeling this way was the first time I heard Robin Kirby and that was certainly life changing as well.
