This week, we’ve got a musical double punch
To accompany your coffee and your Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Two songs from Oakland’s Sugar Candy Mountain,
Smooth like water rushing from a fountain
These two tracks play back to back,
The drums have such a terrific thwack!
Recorded in Oakland, and Brazil too,
Held together by cross-cultural glue!
The first, “Saudade Love,” might be a bummer,
If it wasn’t as sweet as sunshine in the summer
Saudade, if you don’t know, is Portuguese,
Translates to melancholy, but no need to say “Jeez,
Kitchen Sisters, it’s the beginning of the week,
I’m just waking up; I can feel my bones creak!”
The melodies will get lodged in your head
And get you flying right out of your bed!
Then there’s “Lovely Time,” the yin to the yang,
Replacing slow motion with an upbeat twang
Is that a sitar, a guitar, or a mix of the two
A perfect addition to the SCM stew!
We hope these songs help start your Monday well
And teleport you out of an email backlog hell,
Until the next time, Misses and Misters,
From your friends here at the Kitchen Sisters!
Sugar Candy Mountain releases their LP “Mystic Hits” tomorrow on Royal Oakie Records, and Sugar Candy Mountain’s Ash Reiter plays the Chapel on 12/19 with Foxtails Brigade and the Tambo Rays. Listen to “Saudade Love” and “Lovely Time” below.
