A hymn to hopelessness, an ode to embittered souls. This dark and immersive platter will lead you to the largely stretched meadows, that are not green but dry. Very dry. Although grittier in sound than its predecessor, the band plays more dynamic than before and this 2015 album delivers a kind of Denver sound from the Lowlands. The sermons of Nick Cave and David Eugene Edwards are never too far away, just like the haunting spheres of Calexico and the lonesome Townes Van Zandt. Alternative folk with raven dark rock-edge!
