Tag: oblivion

Nearly 30 years into the music biz, and Tom Sadler’s continuously changing directions, adjusting sounds and collaborators, culminating in the latest Tat Songs release, Don’t Look Back. It’s a collection of songs sprouted from post-punk influences, woven into every little detail in every little song. For instance, in “Oblivion,” you get these ringing guitar notes, almost like a heavy jangle, bringing out this melodic underbelly that allows Sadler’s warmth to resonate in the vocals. One of the things I love is that there’s not a lot of urgency here, allowing the song to kind of build and tower before the vocals come into play; it’s a different spin than one gets, so you get a little more reflection to bring the guitar pop to its apex. If you’re digging it, the whole LP is out on February 22nd.
