Our Take

Buckle up, babes, because the psychedelic rocket ship known as Sad Planets has just landed in Akron, Ohio, and they are serving up a truly out-of-this-world experience with their debut album.

From the moment you press play on this trippy masterpiece, you're transported to a cosmic realm where fuzzed-out guitars swirl around like shooting stars and the rhythms pulse like a pulsar. The duo, consisting of Patrick Carney (of The Black Keys) and John Petkovic (of Cobra Verde), have concocted a sonic potion that is equal parts mind-bending and toe-tapping.

Tracks like "Just Landed" and "Not of This World" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend catchy melodies with far-out effects, creating a sound that is both familiar and fantastically bizarre. The swirling production and dreamy vocals will have you feeling like you're floating through space without a care in the world.

But don't let the cosmic vibes fool you – there's a gritty edge to Sad Planets that keeps things grounded in the rock 'n' roll tradition. The raw energy and electric chemistry between Carney and Petkovic make for a listening experience that is as invigorating as it is infectious.

So grab your space helmet and prepare for lift-off, because Sad Planets have officially put Akron, Ohio on the intergalactic map with their stellar debut album. Major kudos to these musical astronauts for reaching new heights and reminding us that sometimes, the best trips are taken with our ears.
