Sad Black & Clear Blend Vinyl

Theres a lot for MAYDAY PARADE to celebrate these days. The Tallahassee, Floridaformed quintet recently wrapped a careerdefining tour marking two decades together, one that saw more than 70,000 fans pack soldout venues to celebrate their storied catalog. They performed a triumphant mainstage set at the 30th anniversary of the V ans W arped T our, a fullcircle moment for a band that made their name selling selfreleased CDs in those same sweltering parking lots nearly 20 years ago. Their landmark debut LP, A Lesson In Romantics, turned 18, still beloved for its iconic singles like the platinumcertified Jamie All Over and goldcertified Miserable At Best. And the group released Sweet, the first in a selfreleased threealbum series that reaffirmed just how vital and creatively energized Mayday Parade still remains. Now, on Sad, the second installment in that trilogy, the band continue diving deeper into the emotional nuance thats defined their most captivating albums, blending aching sentimentality with melodic urgency as only they can. Once again produced by longtime collaborators Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount, Sad sees Mayday Parade stripping back some of the tempo that colored Sweet in favor of more deliberate grooves, more introspection, and a sharpened focus on mood and space.
