[video] Sarah Mary Chadwick – Drinkin’ on a Tuesday

Back in June Sarah Mary Chadwick announced her new LP Messages To God, which will be out September 15 on Kill Rock Stars. She has already shared “Looked Just Like Jesus” & “Shitty Town”, and now we are getting one more new song, “Drinkin’ on a Tuesday”.

It’s another special offering from the talented artist, with her unique touch on haunting, powerful and emotional storytelling — no one does it quite like her. The single is out with the video, directed by Stacey Sian and which features Sarah with long-time collaborator and close friend Hank Clifton-Williamson.

Today Sarah Mary Chadwick announces her new album titled Messages To God, which will be out September 15 on consistently excellent Kill Rock Stars.

To celebrate the news, she also shares a great lead single “Shitty Town”, along with a theatrical music video for it, directed by Geoffrey O’Connor. It is a brilliant song that showcases Chadwick’s talent for creating emotionally resonant music. Raw in delivery and very powerful, it is impossible not to be attached to it after listening.
