Operation: Milksnatch - Sadly Temporary (2013)

The music of Sadly Temporary defies genre classification, but is deeply rooted in progressive rock with slight hints of bluegrass, metal, classical, and jazz-fusion thrown in here and there. Some influences like Mr. Bungle, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Danny Elfman and Gong will be immediately identifiable, while others like The Carpenters, and Jeff Buckley are more subtle. The music tends to be complex, but this is not the focus of the songwriting. Rather Sadly Temporary is concerned with interesting melodies and harmonies based on pop/rock sensibilities with surprising interludes intended to catch the listener off guard. The Lyrics of their first CD tend to be light hearted, comical social/political commentary largely using dairy products as metaphors for the human race's on-going struggle for power.
