Across the album's 10 songs Dan careers between the paranormal John Ford C\u0026amp;W of 'Marfa Lights' to UK anarcho-punk ('Smash The Tesco') and a truly inspired take on The Knife's 'Pass This On'.  'You Don't Know Anything At All' and 'You Gotta Get Mad To Get Things Done' are classic Dan maxims offering up two sides of the same coin - sentiments softened in the later song by Misty Miller's contribution. Elsewhere, in the darkness of the American underbelly, lurk the sordid reflections of the 'HPV Cowboy' before Dan finally reprises his country trails croon for 'Rawhide Moon' and the album's improbable conclusion, 'Moonlight Swim' (originally a 1957 hit for Anthony Perkins - who played Norman Bates in 'Psycho' - and later for Elvis). 'Dudesblood' also features drums and marimba tracks by the venerable DJ Don Bonebrake, best known as an original member and drummer for punk rock band X, of which he is still an active member. Dan's affinity for X, The Knitters and The Flesh Eaters prompted him to reach out to DJ. The result is a sweet shimmery layer not usually found on the more aggressively paranoid songs that sometimes crop up in Sartain's catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"One Little Independent Records","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50491891974475,"sku":"373339","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a71e4901-9497-4293-a9ca-2212164e5848_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727689691"},{"product_id":"dan-sartain-vs-the-serpientes","title":"Dan Sartain Vs The Serpientes","description":"\u003cp\u003eTechnically Dan Sartain's third album, 'Dan Sartain Vs The Serpientes' was his first to be made widely available, originally released by superfan John Reiss (Hot Snakes, Rock From The Crypt) on theSwami Records label and One Little Indian, bringing the talents of the then 21 year old to the world's attention.

While Suicide and Alan Vega have long been acknowledged influences (a cover of 'Wipeout Beat' features) 'Century Plaza' finds Sartain trolling the British synth-pop wave of '80-'84 - particularly Depeche Mode - for inspiration, opening the record with a funereal remake of 'Walk Among the Cobras'. Lead single 'Sinking in The Shallow End' offers up further provocation, indulging a truly truly outrageous Van Halen-inspired guitar solo (notably the album's sole concession to the instrument). Crepuscular synths and metronomic beats dominate songs like 'Cabrini Green' and 'Feigning Ignorance' - either could have been pulled off a Blade Runner or Escape From New York soundtrack in a parallel universe - while 'First Bloods' and 'Black Party' are pathological US teen anthems that serve Sartain's particular brand of charisma especially well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"One Little Independent Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50493592404299,"sku":"397863","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/34cdbfd5-ee17-4d29-8a21-ffbbdfb08aec_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727699131"},{"product_id":"arise-dan-sartain-arise","title":"Arise, Dan Sartain, Arise","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eArise, Dan Sartain, Arise\u003c\/i\u003e, the latest studio album by America’s infamous rock ‘n’ roll troubadour Dan Sartain, is released by One Little Independent Records. Made up of thirteen wickedly wisecracking, vintage surf-rock bangers, this concise and classic record incorporates everything that’s made Dan Sartain the genres favourite underdog over the last two decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeeped in obsidian black humour with tracks like ‘Glasses Houses’, ‘Rooster In The Henhouse’ and ‘I Heard Laughing’ ruthlessly calling out those who would slight him while also riding the hard line of self-awareness, the biting witticism of these tracks pair wonderfully with the playful tone of Sartain’s slick-back dark doo-wop. Elsewhere on the likes of ‘True Love’ and ‘Fires and Floods’ the crooner gets a chance to flex his punk muscles, pushing the guitars further into distorted territory taking the late 50s garage-rock influence via the late 70s in much the same way The Ramones and The Damned did. But we’re transported right back again when Sartain slows down for ballad standouts such as ‘Kisses In The Morning’ and ‘Personal Injury Law’. Throughout ‘Arise, Dan Sartain, Arise’ searing surf guitars intertwine with beautifully haunted organ jabs, with rhythms pulled straight from saloon bars way out west, and cheeky wink-to-the-camera lyrical whimsy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn \u003ci\u003eArise, Dan Sartain, Arise\u003c\/i\u003e we witness a master at work in a field he perfected, with everything but what is completely necessary cut away to craft an album that couldn’t better represent one of the last true outsider artists of an immortal genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e“At the request of Dan’s family, wife and daughter, OLI are releasing this album which Dan finished a few months before his death on 20th March 2021. 100% of all the profits from this release, both the artists share and the record company share, are being paid into a trust fund for Dan’s young daughter, which she will be able to access when she reaches age.
