Wish 05:06
lyrics

Waking up, we dance Versailles Sentient knights, can’t deny Falling into fits, shaking in this fight of mine Hailing to all and all a lifeline Keep your eyes on the sky and your arms up above you Wish a long way If you believe it then they will find you All true eyes shine a way Fearful heights, we feign Moliere Coughing out in fits, shaking in this time Casts us away tonight...tonight Never saw such a fall from grace Never thought of ever ending the chase Caught between the lines, the caged up souls, we survive

Hologram Hearts 04:18
lyrics

I’ll build a fire I’ll run around this town and make this sound rise up Faster than time, caught between the fabric of space and what’s unseen I don’t feel like a boy only In this hologram heart I don’t feel like a girl only In this hologram heart All of us start feel it explode to the stars Underneath I’ve hid the secrets of the lost love in truth and hope Carry along a gleaming photograph, red violet informs our ghost I don’t feel like a boy only In this hologram heart I don’t feel like a girl only In this hologram heart Don’t fall away, don’t you ignore this place In this hologram heart No one’s on guard feel it explode to the stars I don’t feel like a boy only In this hologram heart I don’t feel like a girl only In this hologram heart Don’t fall away, don’t you ignore this place Kept us lavishly starred Don’t fall away, don’t you forget this face In this hologram heart No one’s on guard feel it explode to the stars

Mirage 04:04
lyrics

I don’t know what it takes to define you I don’t know what the stakes would be Carry on with a much better conscience Carry on to the lives in need To the hearts beating louder in columns To those hearts they beat faster in time To the ends of the earth we will find you Across the chasms great divide It’s the only way we all survive And the stars will never fall down Keeps a glow all through the night And the skies will hold them up high This mirage won’t ever stop (stop!) Even as this fever drops Keep in mind we’re forced to sell Ourselves to compromise Like a Soldier’s chrysalis, alive We hold each other's hopes inside The only way we can ...survive And the stars will never fall down Keeps a glow all through the night And the skies will hold them up high This mirage won’t ever stop (stop!) Even as this fever drops We keep holding on day by day To survive this culture shock

Carrera 04:16
lyrics

I’ll learn to laugh When all is said “so long” to all this history I am on the tracks against the moon Worst yet, crawls in Medici Pry, so they might ignite So close we’ll call it a syzygy Bound for the truth confides despair This is the fading mystery Hear us out, from our hearts, sing a song against the wind tonight Out of time and forlorn come along this ride I belong to the lonely distance I belong to you more than reason Fire and love kept us up and breathing Carry a full moonlight I belong to that lonely distance I belong to you more than reason Never let go, never look down This is Carrera make for Volterra A lovely time to chase the rite Caught in a lie, an eternity This coat of arms cloaks all that’s wrong hush kept below the leering “Look all around”, I said, I said You are the waking misery Can’t hide the tune she’s singing Spoken word in Italian: Under the lonely moon Casts a shadow across my veil Secretly I dance Into the night, ever more

Oubliette 04:58

In the darkness I will find you Hear a sound but don’t think twice Terrified now, I believe you Let me run through the night Free the line, shine your light A glow from inside Fighting the rising tide, I’ll be along I didn’t know this chase It’s life and death tonight, to get to the end I didn’t know this face Race against time to find, trace of your side I didn’t know this place Oubliette, this is where to find All alone, this is where to find you Ask the deck what we might have to Hierophant cant see this side Terrified no I believe it - Tree’s are screaming Hear a sound, wear your soul light - there’s a sign

Tongue Tied 04:14
lyrics

I’m not feeling quite right I am suddenly tongue tied My minds all a whirl sending me over The edge Time flies off the wall Essentially all right All right Five years I’ve been lost The blame it is all mine All mine I’m not betting on early warning Take your shot straight across my bow Trying on word adorning Raised our flags, time to sort it all out I was tongue tied from the start Fault line, undertow might just as well as Fall apart Crimson skies above glimmering red light At heart Unflinching I caught you holding on, Will I learn this time? I’m waving bye, turned around in love, Let the rain decide, decide I’m not betting on early warning Take your shot straight across my bow Trying on words adorning I raised a flag and time to sort it all out Preying on veiled assumptions Draw the card of Lovers We’ll be tongue tied in the dark

Soul Parade 05:36
lyrics

Your grey eyes, your whole light So profound We realize a whole life Can’t be found Oh, we find the lightning is almost in time With the sound in our chests Pounding out/loud, so intense Moving on and onward We toe the line Before long and with what’s wrong, Must Realign Oh, we find the lightning is almost in time With the sound in our chests Pounding out/loud, so intense I’ll learn to land when I’m falling/tumbling down (down, down, down) Cross the path of fools, I’m staring down (down, down, down) Consistent with the gilded age, colliding with this new dark age Can’t ignore this beautiful rain La belle indifference, for awhile Oh we march in this Soul’s Parade Our eyes closed tightly - masquerade In our world, From inside - All shook down From all that, that I’ve seen There is no crown

Breaking Glass 06:10
lyrics

Understand - you are the satellite Dissolved in darkness in your flight May enlightened forms Free us from ourselves Desecrated life, futures that we sow Prying out alive Take a long, longing look, giving all our time Breaking glass with every scream Take a long, longing look, for in all our time Worlds alone, hurting inside In the sun we fail the acolytes Descending lasts into the night Falling down, falling down Hold on tightly now Let us stand and serve their final rites Those stars, they’ve dimmed to hematite Disguised, despised Holy war for souls Contradict their lines with truth, all it holds Futures that we sew Crying out in mime Prying out alive Take a long, longing look, giving all our time Breaking glass with every scream Take a long, longing look, for in all our time Worlds alone, hurting inside Take a look Take a look For a long, long time we’ve turned away, blind the eyes For a long, long time we’ll turn the page and finally rise For an old lonely place there is so much at stake

Enjoy Extinction 04:58
lyrics

Painted skies, fire line to the coast Hunted life, for now, lost count of the ghosts So we glide through decline, straight out for the prize Feel alive, sometime Death rides on alone Underlies, truth so cold (do you wanna know) Cold inside just like winter’s bones (do you wanna know) Fall into line This fatal design Enjoy extinction (x2) Carry on, a violence is your creed Going down, from the lies, wake up from your dream It’s enough to survive the malice of your cries But the sound of the meek, calls on amnesty

Saints of Catalina 05:16

Time divides making the first hand slow down Time betrays, hold on for dear life Want to breathe with all the lost souls grieving Dance in the light of the moon over oceans Lives burn away Maybe we’ll turn this page Clutching the saints of Catalina with our wild eyes (wild eyes) Lives turn away Maybe we’ll burn this page Clutching the saints of Catalina with our mind’s eye (mind's eye) Stood so high up on the shoulder of Mars Armistice signed, feelings of loss, unstable Run for our lives between the tears of rainfall Under the light of the moon over oceans Sway to the tune of the last fading oeuvre Finally reach the season, the leaves are falling down Finally comes to reason, our only shot is now Hold on to this moment, let go of the past This future is ours, this time is our chance This is our time This is the gold we’ve come to find Too high to fall (oh), we can’t let go This is our time This is the last of all the wars This is a call for life (for life)

Daytimer 04:44

We write for a long ways to roam And to hide The mind wants a silence to try We were blind as our real life unfolds Beside of what we were feeling And what we can hold inside The right time I wait for you The right time I'm waiting for the right time I’ll wait for you The right time Waiting for the right time Decide what the vow meant This fortune ignites Try to say something refined Let go of our own lives - “good night” Taking this moment to find The Beauty of one love This beauty of one love - (divine) Eye to eye, face to face I believe that it’s you One to one, we’ll paint La Mancha, I’ll contend with the truth The right time I’m waiting for the right time

about

Carrera is the sophomore release from Duluth, Minnesota's Sadkin. It was many years in the making as these things tend to take time when a project is diy from stem to stern - self produced, arranged, recorded, mixed and mastered. But good things do come in time and it is hoped that this effort is no exception.

Carrera, which translates to both - career and race, were both meanings celebrated within the context of this new collection of works; though getting the album across the finish line took longer than most, the frenetic pace of just a few souls doing the work of many was an unyielding constant.

Shifting from Sadkin’s debut, Elan Vital, a more subdued reflection in the wake of personal loss to now, diving deep into both social-political musings to turning inward with quixotic visions of existential adventures to what may lay beyond. Carrera takes up exploring notions of consciousness, communication and wonderment of self, place & accountability. Why not?

Joining Max on this adventure are the band members themselves as well as notable guest, saxophonist Greg Kehl Moore and drumming luminary, Michael Bland (Prince, Soul Asylum, Chaka Khan, Paul Westerberg).

Recorded and produced in privacy at Max's cozy house in Duluth's Central-Hillside; with only a few overdubs tracked remotely. This effort aimed high in both ambition and desired effect. Every effort was made, and at every step, to deliver a collection of works which dove deep in taking on musical pieces that often demanded elaborate arrangements, sharp turns and tight-rope walking panache.

This no-compromise ethic crossed over during the entire production process as well. Some songs re-recorded multiple times, others requiring not just two rounds of mixing, but 3 ...even more; whatever it required. The mantra throughout the entirety of the production was simple, perhaps even a little obtuse, but for Max and Sadkin it was the clarifying declarative intent - 'It has to sound like a record'.

et voila
