Get to it!“Everything I thought I wanted in this world has got me turned upside downâ€
Seven Mary Three’s day&nightdriving, their sixth album (and first for the Bellum/ICON label), represents a return to the band’s original motivation – to make music for themselves, unbound by expectations or constraints. The group, founded by singer/songwriter Jason Ross while a student at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, VA, released Churn in 1994, an album they recorded in the basement. The single, “Cumbersome,†picked up local radio airplay, leading to a deal with Mammoth Records, and a platinum-plus major-label debut in American Standard, for which they re-recorded most of the songs on Churn. That instant success was both a blessing and a curse, according to Ross.
“We were under a microscope right away,†he explains. “We hadn’t even decided on who we were and we were already being identified as this grunge-rock band.â€
If Jason Ross is a grunge singer/songwriter, then so are Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Richard Buckner and Sam Beam of Iron & Wine. . On day&nightdriving, produced by Brian Paulson (Wilco, Son Volt, Beck, Uncle Tupelo and Slint’s influential cult classic Spiderland) Ross delivers a compelling set of songs that lives up to its dichotomous title. The album combines surging, dark, rock anthems like the first single “Last Kiss,†the ringing Gaelic guitars of “Was a Ghost†and the heavy swagger of “Break the Spell,†with the Americana roots feel of the country-flavored swamp stomp “Dreaming Against Me†and the twangy slide guitar on “Upside Down.†The album also boasts soulful contemplative songs like “Hammer and a Stone,†the after-hours drinking ballad “Strangely at Home Here†and the domestic meditations of “She Wants Results†and “Dead Days in the Kitchen.â€
For those only familiar with Seven Mary Three from the hit “Cumbersome,†they will be surprised by the band’s new direction. It’s an album about reconciling a career in a rock group with home life, and balancing commitments to band mates with those of family, in a highly personal, reflective, yet raw and honest work.
