Album Notes & Community Reviews
The San Francisco duo heavily expands their aggressive, blues-driven folk-punk sound, drawing deeply from 19th-century American history and dark mythology. The sprawling, narrative-dense tracks are propelled by furious acoustic fingerpicking and explosive percussion. It presents a gritty, volatile interpretation of traditional Americana.
