Album Notes

This CD reflects Sassafrass's new work from 2002-2008. After a long hiatus, Sassafrass started singing together again in 2008 when a few members got together and sang at a filk circle at Balticon. Firebrand was recorded that summer, partly at Contata. While the pieces on Solitary Dancer were mainly either romantic or about "attitudes toward living", the new pieces composed for Firebrand are more experimental, folky and fantastic in their style and subject matter. Firebrand also includes new, improved recordings of some of our favorite songs from Solitary Dancer, and "The Futhark Song," a preview of the first track of Sundown, our ongoing Norse Mythology themed album project.

Firebrand

Amazingly complex vocals. Don't play this as background music, you really need to pay attention. Lovely voices!
