Silver Sail is the seventh studio album by punk rock band Wipers, released in 1993.[4] After disbanding Wipers in 1989 and releasing a 1991 solo album, Sacrifice (For Love), Sage decided to release a new album under the Wipers name.
The album was written, produced and recorded by Sage at his Zeno Studios in Phoenix, Arizona. Steve Plouf returned to play drums.[7]
Trouser Press wrote: "A more deliberate pace allows Sage’s virtuoso playing extra opportunity to bob and weave, float and tickle, tease and torment; he introduces hints of quiet surf music, spaghetti westerns and other lonely, timeless sounds."[1] The Rough Guide to Rock deemed the album "a return to The Circle's jazzy style of neo-psychedelic thrash."[8] Rolling Stone wrote that Sage emphasizes "deep-pool echo and a punky, rainy-day melancholy that gives new meaning to the term power ballad."[9]
All songs written by Greg Sage.
