Seven tracks, 53 minutes. Sage is the new album from Across Tundras and the first release for the band on Neurot. This is the seventh full length album from the band. It is a departure in sound from previous releases, bringing together influences from Johnny Cash, Neil Young, Black Sabbath and Neurot's own Neurosis.

Birthed from the open spaces of the western United States and now nestled in Nashville, Tennessee; Across Tundras has been a band which has always been able to convey the feeling of being in the presence of severity through their music. Their fifth and most recent release, Sage, accomplishes this in a way unfamiliar to even the most loyal of ‘AT’ listeners.

Sage easily proves to easily be their most personally artistic yet. Listening to this record you are hearing a band that has grown into what it always dreamed to be. The album brings together those influences that make Across Tundras so unique, the classic vibes of Johnny Cash and Neil Young, to the ominous heaviness of Black Sabbath and Neurosis, all points visited between, in a cohesive and natural way. It’s organic, progressive, and heavy as all hell.

The classic power trio of guitarist/vocalist Tanner Olson, bassist Matt Shively, and drummer Nathan Rose have delivered a honest and powerful statement of new American music.

The poetic song-writing and creative structures are as powerful as ever, cited in songs like the opener, “In the Name of the River Grand”. As the album moves along, the traditional influences are really showcased on the Skynyrd approved "Hijo de Desierto," and the third track, “Buried Arrows,” where guest vocalist Lilly Hiatt makes her first appearance with the “Dust Bowl Choir,” and offers spine-tingling vocals akin to Dolly Parton or Loretta Lynn.

The percussion is heavy, intentional, and direct. The bass pummels you, and the lyrics are so haunt.......

Across Tundras pochodzący z zachodu USA - a obecnie mieszkający w Nashville, Tennessee – wydali piąty w swym dorobku album, będący najbardziej osobistym wydawnictwem w ich historii. Słuchając ‘Sage’ ma się wrażenie, że odsłuchujesz dokonania o którym zespół jako całość marzyli od dawna; album scala wszystkie ich wpływy i inspiracje muzyczne od Johnnego Casha i Neila Younga po Black Sabbath cz Neurosis, zaczepiając w naturalny sposób o wszystkie punkty łączące te jakże odmienne korzenie i źródła tożsamości artstycznej. Efekt jest organiczny, progresywny – i ciężki jak samo piekło…
