Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Karlstad band's third studio album arrived sixteen years after its self titled predecessor, with Rob Coffinshaker's graveyard country framed by German expressionist horror imagery. Its sound folds Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash songcraft into Ennio Morricone melodies and Ventures style surf guitar.
