I'm Sorry I'm Leaving is an acoustic EP released by American rock band Saves the Day, released by Immigrant Sun on July 1, 1999.
It differed from the band's debut album, Can't Slow Down, by having a lighter acoustic sound.
Background and recording
[edit]Saves the Day formed in late 1997. Their debut album, Can't Slow Down, was released with Equal Vision in August 1998.[2] The album helped the band gain fans, but only in the New Jersey area.[3] The band promoted the album with two tours, which helped the band expand their fan base.[2] Saves the Day had three different line-up changes while touring Can't Slow Down, leaving vocalist Chris Conley and drummer Bryan Newman as the only original members left.[4]
I'm Sorry I'm Leaving was recorded and mixed at Shoulder to the Wheel Studio in March 1999.[5] The EP was mastered by M.J.R. at Metropolis Mastering Ltd.[5]
