Review by Greg Baltes

Sackville's album, Low Ebb, is a hauntingly beautiful collection of songs that showcases the band's talent for crafting deeply emotional and introspective music. From the opening track, "The Lonely Parade," to the closing notes of "The Last Chance," the album takes listeners on a journey through the ups and downs of life, exploring themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Broken Wings," which features a hauntingly beautiful melody and powerful lyrics that speak to the pain of heartbreak and the struggle to move on. Similarly, "In Your Dreams" is a poignant ballad that explores the bittersweet nature of love and the longing for connection.

Throughout the album, Sackville's musicianship is on full display, with intricate guitar work, evocative vocals, and a richly layered sound that draws the listener in and keeps them engaged. The production is also top-notch, with a warm, intimate sound that perfectly complements the emotional depth of the songs.

About Sackville

This Montreal-based group made wonderful damaged roots music in various incarnations through the mid-90s, guided by the songwriting of singer/guitarist Gabe Levine and the string-playing of co-founder Genevieve Heistek. Harris Newman was a regular presence on bass, and Kurt Newman (no relation) played various instruments before leaving the band to return to Toronto and eventually, Austin USA. Ian Ilavsky filled in on guitar beginning in 1996 and various players, including Pat Conan and Eric Craven, occupied the drum chair. Charting a path through country and pop traditions, always with a deft lyrical touch, Sackville developed a highly original and evocative sound that distilled a wide range of folk, rock and avant influences. The group slowly disbanded at the turn of the millennium. Members have gone on to play in Hangedup, Black Ox Orkestar, Set Fire To Flames and Silver Mt Zion among others.
