Sad Accordions are a five-piece band from Austin, Texas featuring Seth Woods (The Whiskey Priest) and Ben Lance (Zookeeper).

Recorded and mixed by Andrew Hernandez (Balmorhea, Tiny Vipers, Sleep Whale),  “Sacrificial Chumpsucker Diatribe” is the first single from forthcoming release, The Colors And The Kill.

For those of you unfamiliar with the term ‘chumpsucker’, it’s  an uncomplicated but wholly  appropriate  euphemism for ‘idiot’ and a reference to the foolishness inherent in all  us human beings.  And therein is the essence of the song: we’re all mess-ups trying to make good; innately flawed but nonetheless trying to face up to our demons and struggle through the impossibilities of the world.

“Sacrificial Chumpsucker Diatribe” [radio edit] is released as a free download on 25 April and the full version follows, along with the rest of The Color And The Kill, on 23 May 2011.

Seth Woods will be embarking on a tour of the UK in September (more details of which will be available in due course) and, if you happen to be in the vicinity, there’s every chance you’ll be able to catch Sad Accordions live later this year.
