Sad Planets

Akron, Ohio 12″ LP

Metallic Silver Vinyl

Debut album by Sad Planets, featuring members of Black Keys, Cobra Verde, Sweet Apple. Sad Planets — John Petkovic and Patrick Carney — rolls out its brand of “psychedelic trash” — a mix of psych, pop, garage and experimental rock that pairs hook-heavy songwriting with Eno-esque synths and layers of guitars. Dinosaur Jr’s J Mascis (who plays guitar with Petkovic in Sweet Apple) adds guitar to the album.
