Day & Nightdriving is the seventh studio album by American post-grunge band Seven Mary Three.[3][4] It was released in 2008 on Bellum Records.[5] The album's lead single was "Last Kiss".
Production
[edit]The album arose from acoustic jam sessions between guitarists Jason Ross and Thomas Juliano, leading to Day & Nightdriving's country-rock sound.[6]
Critical reception
[edit]The Courier-Journal wrote that "the album turns slightly with the Wilco-esque 'Dreaming Against Me', which invites the listener to sing out loud, while 'Hammer & a Stone', with its acoustic guitar set against piano, is simply beautiful."[7] Goldmine called the album "one of the most pleasant surprises of 2008," writing that the band "has tapped into a rootsy side previously only hinted at."[2]
