Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released simultaneously with a sister album, 'Black Letter Days' finds the former Pixies frontman leaning heavily into rootsy, American traditionalism. The raw, live-to-two-track recording method emphasizes the band's rugged alt-country and blues rock influences over an expansive 18-track runtime.
