What a difference a year makes. I first got acquainted with Churchill during 93.3's 09' Hometown for the Holidays. I saw them play the big finale and found that their sound was very charming and thought they could really go to some really big places. Just over a year later I have seen them a few other times watching them grow and mature, gaining more confidence in their craft. All of this culminating in their release Happy/Sad.
I feel the tracks "Miles" and "We Use to Be Happy" are as good as most things I hear on the radio if not better, but to be clear, there isn't a song I would skip on the entire album. It is a very complete piece of work and the emotional weight that the songs carry will keep you deeply engaged. This record will no doubt open a lot of doors for the band, and provide them chances to continue to make great music in the future, but for now a great deal of satisfaction and accomplishment can be felt by the band, and for the listener the opportunity to let the music to take us over.
