A critically acclaimed concept album, 'A Black Mile To The Surface' tells a sprawling, multi-generational story centered around a fictional mining town in South Dakota. Produced by Catherine Marks and John Congleton, the record is known for its cinematic scope, seamless track transitions, and vast dynamic shifts from intimate folk to explosive rock. The project was heavily influenced by frontman Andy Hull's experience scoring the film 'Swiss Army Man,' which informed its narrative and sonic layering.
