Album Notes & Community Reviews
Sykes' remarkable debut heavily intertwines her haunting, whiskey-soaked alto with Phil Wandscher's profoundly desolate, reverb-heavy guitar work. Together, they established a devastatingly beautiful, glacially paced interpretation of dark Americana that evokes endless midnight highways and gothic loneliness.
