Album Notes & Community Reviews

The third full-length from the Portland-based band is a dark and cinematic journey, further refining their signature 'funeral-gospel' sound. 'Dead Reckoning' is a collection of narrative-driven anthems that blend the macabre storytelling of gothic country with the rousing, communal energy of folk-punk and gospel. It's another powerful and stomping record from one of the genre's most distinctive bands.
