Rating: 8 paddlin' belts out of 10
Dan Sartain has always been a garage rocker type of dude, recording and
performing music that was ok but never got me overly excited. He's been
around for nearly a couple of decades, releasing an album seemingly
every year, and to be perfectly honest I stopped paying attention a long
time ago. I honestly don't know how this new album "Century
Plaza" even got on my computer, but I've had a lot more free time to
listen to music this past month or so, so why not see what the hell Dan
Sartain is up to these days?
Well, it ain't
garage rock anymore. It appears that for at least this album, Sartain
has re-invented himself as a new wave electro-pop artist writing dark,
almost gothy songs that would make Depeche Mode, Gary Numan and
Suicide all proud. The highlight is the album opener, a remake of his
own song "Walk Among the Cobras" that would sound right at home on the
"Drive" soundtrack. All of the sudden I'm a big Dan Sartain fan now because
I absolutely love this. Keep going in this direction Dan!
