Wilderness

The upcoming album from husband and wife songwriting duo Brett and Rennie Sparks follows 2009?s Honey Moon, praised by Pitchfork. Wild animals, tall tales, and dark stories from American history populate the lyrics of Wilderness. Appalachian holler, psychedelic rock, tin pan alley, and medieval music continue to inform The Handsome Family?s unique brand of Americana, while their affinity for old-tyme ballads and clawhammer banjo has never sounded so seamlessly connected to their use of samples, loops, and sonic effects. Wilderness has a great deal of musical variety: pop, classic rock, countrypolitan, bossa nova, and prog rock appear on the album along with parlour ballads, cajun tunes and hymns. LP comes with digital download code.
