Hallowed Ground

by Violent Femmes

Hallowed Ground cover art

Vastly expanding the frantic acoustic punk of their debut, the Violent Femmes embraced an incredibly dark, musically sophisticated brand of gothic country and folk-rock. Gordon Gano's highly anxious, manic vocals explore themes of extreme Christian faith, murder, and spiritual dread over eclectic instrumentation, including horns and banjos. 'Hallowed Ground' is a deeply unnerving, energetic, and highly ambitious masterpiece of American cowpunk.
