THAYER SARRANO
NewsWhistle
Album Review
April 5, 2019 (Friday) - We Three Scribes of Guildwater extend many thanks to Chad Werner of NewsWhistle for his generous review of the new album -- Wings Alleluia -- of Thayer Sarrano. Werner writes: "One part shoegaze, another couple parts Southern gothic, a dash of folk, some classic country, and whatever else she damn-well pleases, Thayer Sarrano has emerged this spring with a hell of a record." Werner continues, "Wings Alleluia is the album that every singer/songwriter strives for, but rarely hits." These words are true indeed, as true as we are biased, which is to say, "very." Werner categorizes the album as a "'lights off' affair." Yet it isn't as though Sarrano is "unleashing a darkness to swallow you whole. Instead, she reaches out to the listener with hope." In summation, Sarrano "isn’t just a musician, she is a guide." We thank NewsWhistle for its keen perspicacity.
