As any Six Organs of Admittance fan will tell you, life isn't all smiles and sunshine for Mr. Six Organs, one Ben Chasny. His discography has slid in and out of the shadows with each successive record – but 2005's School of the Flower was an extended breath of ecstasy. Listening to The Sun Awakens back-to-back with its predecessor will provoke a different response. There are a few treats, sure. But it's not all happy beans, just so you know. As a matter of fact, it's the darkest Six Organs of Admittance yet. In addition to titling songs cheerless things like "Black Wall" and "Torn By Wolves," Ben's brought a bit more electric guitar into the mix to help bring out the darkness. Tim Green is behind the board making sure that everything sounds rock-solid, and the acoustics are brilliant.
