SaD - 'Saturn Rules The Material World'
SaD are Simona Castricum and Daphne Camf (NO ZU). Together they pay romantic homage to minimal wave through crooning lyricism and danceable lamentations.
‘Saturn Rules The Material World’ is the debut album from Melbourne duo SaD. A dreamy collection of call-and-response arrangements; Camf’s lyrics and vocal delivery paint a landscape of heartache, despair, and longing for self-redemption, offset by moments of resigned acceptance and a sense of surrender to an inescapably painful life path. Castricum’s chorus/reverb drenched guitar leads and pumping big-beat and bass rhythms ground the record as instantly danceable. It features the new single ‘Sign From Above’, as well as their singles ‘The Poets of Antiquity’, ‘Don’t Go’ and a cover of The Triffids’ classic ‘Raining Pleasure’. ‘Saturn Rules The Material World’ is available through BandCamp and streams digitally from September 25 on Trans-Brunswick Express.
Of the album Daphne Says:
“‘Saturn Rules The Material World’ was written relatively quickly and intuitively between Simona and I capturing a reflective period where we both took to the task of doing what artists can always be relied on to do - turning pain into cathartic beauty."
