Album Notes & Community Reviews

On their fourth full-length, the band plugged in and embraced a more polished, electric sound. 'Western Medicine' trades some of their earlier acoustic stomp for a more refined folk-rock and Americana approach, produced by Chris Funk of The Decemberists. The result is a cinematic and atmospheric album that expands their sonic palette while retaining their signature dark storytelling.
