Canadian progressive rockers SAGA will release a new studio album, “Symmetry”, on March 12, 2021 via earMUSIC.
After going on tour in spring 2020, SAGA went straight into its home studios. The result: an album full of acoustic originals.
“Symmetry” offers a unique listening experience by bundling complex and delicate arrangements with familiar melodies and sounds. It gives the listener the possibility to explore and discover SAGA classics like “Wind Him Up”, “Say Goodbye To Hollywood” and “Tired World” once more and in a completely new way.
SAGA managed to create more than just new versions of their songs; they created a sonic world full of little details that invites the listeners to dive deeper into the complex musical phenomenon that is SAGA.
Ian Crichton states about the album: “After opening for ‘ourselves’ on our 2017 European tour acoustically, the decision to record an acoustic record was born. This is different SAGA, everyone! We invited, from Ontario, Canada, Shane Cook on fiddle, and Stefany Seki, Beth Silver on cello to accompany us on our offside interpretation of music we’ve played for years. [We] had a lot of fun doing so!
“Acoustic SAGA!?!?!… It’s like construction work for an electric guitar player.”
“Symmetry” will be available as a CD jewelcase, 2LP gatefold and as a digital download.
