Synopsis

Album Description
2009 release from the Portland-based former Alaskans. Salvation Is A Deep Dark Well is a much more complete work than their debut, showcasing the bands full potential. On Salvation, the Builders worked with producer Chris Funk from the Decemberists who brought with him a throng of expertise, patience, instruments, and some of the best musicians in Portland. In the vein of the Southern Gothic tales Ryan [Sollee, songwriter] weaves stories of struggle with the usual cast of characters God, the Devil, soldiers, branches, wind, rain and hell fire. The story of Salvation Is A Deep Dark Well is that there's joy and celebration through the darkness, there's light in the hardest of times, and when you reach the bottom may salvation light your way.

CD Reviews

A fair review
Lindee Orr | 09/28/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD is the best 12 dollars I have ever spent in my entire life. After reading reviews for this CD I feel that I need to give my 2 cents, because it really is a 5* success. It seems like every time a band comes out with a new CD everyone feels this urge to say, "meh, its good, but not as good as BLAH BLAH BLAH. There are 11 songs on this CD and I absolutely LOVE 9 of them. It is a bit more polished than the self titled release of last year. Polished is GOOD people. It sounds so crisp and perfect. I absolutely LOVED the self-titled, and now I absolutely love this. They didn't change their sound, they perfected it. Lyrics are a bit darker. I like that though. See for yourself. Enjoy."
