Sail Release New EP Live at TAD Studios

If you’re reading these words — and hey, if you are, thanks — then you probably don’t need me to tell you that today is Bandcamp Friday, the one day a month that the online portal has set aside to waive the fees it collects from artists. Good day to buy music, in other words, if you like directly supporting those who make said music. There are of course a ton of releases as a result, but while you’re spending the day, well, spending, I’d only encourage you to give a glance over at what UK heavy proggers Sail have on offer in the new EP, Live at TAD Studios, which, if you dug their 2020 studio album, Mannequin (review here), should make a welcome follow-up.

Four songs, two previously unreleased, and included is the Mannequin title-track, which you’ll also find the video below, put together as it was by fan-filmed footage, which is nice because, you know, virtual togetherness and all that. Also it’s catchy. That doesn’t hurt either, ever.

You should note that TAD Studios is not the same as Witch Ape Studio, which is run by Tad Doyle. Ain’t nobody traveling to record in the States right now. Bad enough living here.

Okay, here you go:

Sail – Live at TAD Stuios

The four tracks were recorded at TAD Studios as part of a live session, and feature our latest single Mannequin, two tracks from Slumbersong (Shimmer & Old Tom) and Bookends, which has never been released. We wanted to celebrate these tracks in a different environment and add a positive note to the end of a difficult year; our fans have stuck by us and we want to reward them for their loyalty.

Tracklist:
1) Mannequin (Live at TAD Studios)
2) Bookends (Live at TAD Studios)
3) Shimmer (Live at TAD Studios)
4) Old Tom (Live at TAD Studios)
