Day & Nightdriving is the seventh and final 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".

Contents

Production

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

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]
