"Say When," the Sarandons' new song, takes you to a dreamy place, blending folk melodies and modern production with inspiration from Bob Dylan's '80s catalog. The track draws on a specific musical period without being restricted to it. The band includes Suchon on vocals and guitar, Coleman on bass and vocals, Cummings on keyboards and vocals, Keeney on lead guitar, and Phil Skot on drums.
"Say When" is a song co-written by Dave Suchon, Craig Keeney, Damian Coleman, Edmund Cummings, and Dan Hosh. It embodies the collaborative spirit of the Canadian indie rock band. The Sarandons offer a tune that salutes Dylan's '80s era while keeping its focus firmly on the possibilities of folk-inflected indie rock. This meeting of influences gives the song its character and places it comfortably between tradition and modernity.
The song draws inspiration from Dylan's 1980s work and the production sensibilities of the period. Records such as 1983's "Infidels" provide a point of reference, where folk melodies could comfortably coexist with then-modern production. What defines the musical territory of "Say When" is also Mark Knopfler's presence on the record, both at the controls and on guitar.
