The Handsome Family "Singing Bones"

£7.00

#14 album of 2003

The Albuquerque husband-and-wife team continue to leave the leftfield country pack trailing in their dark wake on their sixth studio release. Reconfiguring Buck Owens, The Band, and Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music through Rennie Sparks' twisted literacy and Brett's doleful burr, it is invariably stunning Americana. - Uncut

"This is music that moves forward by turning the clock back - haunting, primal and strangely heroic." - The TImes
