About"Separation Sunday" is the second studio album by American rock band The Hold Steady, released on May 3, 2005 by Frenchkiss Records. The album was produced by Dave Gardner and recorded at Coyote Studios in Brooklyn, New York.
The album is a concept album that tells the story of a group of characters, including a drug-addicted prostitute named Hallelujah and a street preacher named Charlemagne, as they navigate through a fictionalized version of Minneapolis. The album's sound is similar to the band's previous work, with elements of classic rock, punk, and indie rock, but with a heavier emphasis on piano and keyboards.
The album's lyrics, written by lead vocalist Craig Finn, are known for their narrative style and references to popular culture, religion, and literature. Standout tracks include "Your Little Hoodrat Friend", "Stevie Nix" and "How A Resurrection Really Feels".
