Sebadoh’s 2019 album "Act Surprised" finds the long-running indie act delivering a set of songs that balances Barlow’s characteristically raw introspection with a more driving, direct rock sound.
- "Act Surprised" was recorded and mixed by Bob Weston at Chicago's Electrical Audio, the same studio where the band recorded 2013's "Defend Yourself".
- The album marked the first time in the band's history that the same lineup recorded two consecutive albums.
- Upon release, "Act Surprised" received generally positive reviews, with critics highlighting the band's continued energy and songwriting prowess.
Sebadoh is the indie rock band formed in 1987 by Dinosaur Jr. guitarist Lou Barlow and original bandmate Eric Gaffney. Sebadoh is known for its lo-fi aesthetic and Barlow’s intensely personal songwriting. "Act Surprised" arrived in 2019, the third Sebadoh album in six years and the second consecutive release on Fire Records, finding the band active and consistent after a decade-plus hiatus.
