Saintseneca’s anticipated new album Such Things delivers the band’s most accessible and catchy work to date.
In anticipation of the record’s October 9 release, you can now preview the track “River” care of Stereogum. The song is a fuzzed out merging of propulsive seventies rock with the raw emotion of folk and sonic adventuresome of modern indie rock.
As the band’s vocalist and songwriter Zac Little explains, “River is a meditation on the transience of all things, delivered via fuzzed out jam. An object is an event – rather than a substance. Perhaps the stuff that is us condenses for a moment, but eventually it all drains away, blurs together, and dissolves into one grand holy cosmic ocean. I wanted to write a pop song about that, and nod to the riffy greatness of Creedence Clearwater Revival.“

Such Things is the follow up to the band’s critically headed album Dark Arc, which Rolling Stone proclaimed a “gem” and American Songwriter wrote, “The wall of sound juxtaposed with Little’s vocals is the band’s signature sound. It’s as if Conor Oberst was fronting Arcade Fire.”
Saintseneca will be touring North America in support of the new record.
