XXXX PATRICK O’DONNELL | Seasonal Affective Disorder. The Album
CD (2020)

UPON ITS RELEASE IN 2020, PATRICK O’DONNELL WROTE: “SOON, WHETHER WE WANT IT OR NOT, WE WILL BE INUNDATED WITH CHRISTMAS CARDS AND OTHER SONGS BLITHELY CELEBRATING WINTER.  FESTIVE MUSIC WILL FOLLOW US LIKE FURIES, INSISTING WE BE HAPPY AND WHEN THE WEATHER AND CURRENT EVENTS INCLINE, MANY OF US TOWARD OUTRAGE, ANXIETY, AND DEPRESSION.” THIS ALBUM DOESN’T SUGAR COAT OR TRY TO HUMOR US RE: THE STATE OF THE WORLD.  IT’S REALISTIC, MATTER-OF-FACT, AND IN THE END THE PERFECT ANTIDOTE TO ENFORCED GAIETY.
