There’s an underlying edginess that leaves you unsettled, waiting for the axe to fall.

If you are into moody bands, or anything that goes good with alcohol, then give Sackville a whirl. So good!
Album Description
Canada's Sackville burst on the scene to rave reviews for their 1996 CDEP, "Low Ebb." This is their 1st full-length, and was released in Nov. 1997. The group has the intensity of Slint crossed with the "slacker country ethic" of Palace. There is also a strong kin to such moody ramblers as Rex, Red Red Meat, and Scud Mountain Boys. On "These Last Songs", Sackville maintains the "urban country" feel, but with the addition of a second guitarist, they occasionally create a slight math rock feel. Still, the guitar riffs are still submerged in a thick melancholy, which makes Sackville one of Canada's most enjoyable bands. They also have a CDEP out on Montreal’s Constellation Records, and a split 7" 45 with Chicago’s Handsome Family on Mag Wheel Records.
