Sagar wrote the : :' majority of his fifth studio album, Under the Weather, in 2019, ': ,: when he was going through a long, unrelenting period of sadness. :, : ôI was in a deep, deep depression,ö he recalls of that time : :' period now. ôTours were breaking me. It was awful.ö Sagar and ': ,: his partner were living in Montreal and while everyone was out :, : being social, he was inside listening to ambient music, binging : :' Star Trek, and writing songs. (Sound familiar?) ôIt was a bit ': ,: of a dark pit,ö he says. ôThatÆs kind of what the whole album is :, : about.ö : :' ': ,: Under the Weather follows SagarÆs life and the depression that :, : consumed him in 2019 ù after a brief album intro, it jumps right : :' into ôFeel Better,ö a reflection on attempting to buck up when ': ,: the weather outside is grim. The album is hazy and moody, the :, : pace slow as syrup, and from beginning to end, a fog falls over : :' every synth and guitar line. In ôInaminit,ö Sagar cancels plans ': ,: when heÆs feeling low; the closing track, ôTenterhooks,ö sees :, : SagarÆs deliverance into the depths of despair: ôFeel myself : :' drying up / feel myself turn into dust,ö he sings over a ': ,: funhouse mirror synth. ôOftentimes when youÆre in a dark place, :, : youÆre supposed to journal and that helps release the pressure,ö : :' Sagar says. ôFor me, it always found its way into the music.ö ': ,: :, : Capturing the cloudy sound of a depressive funk was no simple : :' feat, especially in the headspace Sagar was in for over a year. ': ,: For that reason, he decided to enlist his friend, Jerry PaperÆs :, : Lucas Nathan, to help with production on the record. Having : :' Nathan contribute helped Sagar dial back some of ôdry, pristine ': ,: digital soundö that defined his fourth studio album, Helium, and :, : add back personal analog touches that drew people to the : :' HOMESHAKE project in the first place. ': ,: :, : ôI didnÆt realize how much I missed having a second set of ears. : :' ItÆs pretty invaluable,ö Sagar says. He would send all the of ': ,: tracks back and forth with Nathan over the course of 2019, which :, : made the process a longer one than he was used to. ôThere are a : :' lot of things that I probably wouldn't have done that Lucas did ': ,: do. I would tend to do a lot of softening of things, a lot of :, : making everything super bassy and gentle. Lucas was aware that : :' sometimes you needed some punch and grit.ö To Sagar, those ': ,: additions made the record what it is ù a melodic, honest look at :, : personal emotional struggle. : :' ': ,: As Sagar readies it for release this September, the record he :, : wrote about feeling isolated, alone, and despondent has begun to : :' seem eerily prescient. ôPeople will probably think that I made ': ,: Under the Weather during or about Covid,ö Sagar reflects now. ôI :, : was just already living my life that way.ö For Sagar, the : :' feelings he experienced over the course of that year are far ': ,: from over ù ôIÆve been writing about feeling isolated my whole :, : life,ö he says ù but with age, he has come to understand them : :' better. ôI had a fairly clear idea what the album was going to ': ,: be like based on where I was emotionally at the time,ö he says :, : about Under the Weather. ôI just try to make music that is : :' honest about how IÆm feeling.ö ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 2 1 \/
