A beautiful record that deserves to be heard far and wide. Mixed by Owner and Engineer Neil Godbole.
Attention! It's my great pleasure to announce that the seventh Saint Solitude album, Sugar Pill, will be released on September 30, 2022.
For the first time, I wrote songs for a mood I needed badly to reconnect with – joy – even when I didn’t always feel that way. It was songwriting for a distant or slightly magical feeling. And then it just got more fun as I asked a ton of friends to contribute.
The process helped me realize there is a completely innocent value in tricking yourself to become happier. I might still be singing about my usual fodder of confusion, abandonment, and revolution, but hope and awe are the active ingredients.
Sugar Pill features contributions from
José Ayerve/ (Spouse, A Severe Joy),
Austin Lemieux/ (Cruel Hand),
Erika Hansen/,
and many Bay Area musicians like Aviva le Fey/,
Ross Eustis/rosstafari (Jazz Mafia),
Akiyoshi Ehara/ (The Seshen),

It was mastered by Mark Alan Miller/ at Sonelab and mixed by Neil Godbole/ (EDBL Music Collective) at Airship Laboratories and Andrew Schatzberg at Landslide Studio. Drums were engineered by Maryam Qudus at Tiny Telephone Oakland.
The album artwork showcases a new technology called generative visuals by Los Angeles artist .Dickinson
