Said the Whale – Cascadia

Vinyl LP pressing including digital download. 2019 release from the Canadian band. After more than a decade together, Said the Whale have arrived at the purest version of themselves. Cascadia is the Vancouver trio's sixth album, and it sounds like quintessential Said the Whale: with a big-hearted blend of indie rock and atmospheric folk, it perfects all of the elements that have propelled the band to JUNO Award-winning, radio chart-topping success. Cascadia represents a back-to-basics approach after the synth-fuelled experimentation of 2017's As Long As Your Eyes Are Wide. This time around, with their personal lives back in order, the timing was right to return to the core of their signature style. "We sat down with guitars again and wrote songs in the way that feels the most natural to us," Tyler says. "We're just following the whims of the three of us, and it's a much more distilled version of what the band is."
