Sackville - Good Citizen - 3:27
This is Gabe Levine and his Montreal band channeling Will Oldham, a struggle that usually results in mediocrity. But here Sackville displays some deft mimicry. Good Citizen, the most straightforward pop track off of their 1997 release “These Last Songs,” rolls along with a fantastic arpeggiated hook and lyrics that are more musical than intelligible. The song builds to a climax of violin, guitar and voice; the interaction between the three is perfect. Sackville never received much recognition and broke up in 2000, narrowly missing the ensuing folk-pop/alt-country revival.
