Editorial Reviews

Wild Sweet Orange's Canvasback Music debut, We Have Cause To Be Uneasy, is a work of exquisite power, its songs propelled by edgy emotion and a cathartic yearning for connection. Tracks such as "Ten Dead Dogs" and "Sour Milk" find the Birmingham, Alabama-based rock outfit honing an intimate and individualistic sound that veers unrestrained from aching intimacy to a turbulent, seething intensity. For singer and songwriter Preston Lovinggood, the album's provocative title serves as both an ideal statement of intent as well as a strong assertion of identity.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Debut, August 22, 2008

The debut album by Birmingham, Alabama quartet Wild Sweet Orange is full of meditative Southern rock tunes backed by chugging guitars and good old shuffling beats. Even when the lyrics on songs like "Ten Dead Dogs" are earnest and world weary, the music remains buoyant. Lead singer Preston Lovinggood anchors the band with his vocal gymnastics on "Tilt" going from a whisper to an arena rock god wail like it's a walk in the park. The band is especially good at selling the story song, a Southern staple. "Aretha's Gold" mixes in psychedelic flourishes to spice up this twisted love story of a song which also features some wild guitar work. "Sour Milk" is more contemplative and winsome in it's overall tone but this track about "one pissed off generation of kids" is the album's strongest tunes.

The song writing is what propells this album to greatness. I hear a bit of Manchester Orchestra meets the Long Winters. A solid release here.

This is easily one of my favorite albums. The song writing and ton of Preston Lovinggood's voice is haunting and gut wrenching at times. Although this band is no longer together this is an excellent reminder of what great song writing is. If you like this, do yourself another favor and look up The Whale EP.
