to work in Road Records next Tuesday 2nd June at 4.30pm
The Handsome Family are going to work in Road Records next Tuesday 2nd June
from 4.30pm until 6pm. They'll serve customers and generally be available to
sell their own and other records.
Honey Moon is the Handsome Family's eighth studio release, it celebrates
the duo's twentieth year of marriage with a series of love songs that
sharply contrast the dark themes of their previous seven releases
Recording all their songs in a converted garage studio at the back of their
Albuquerque house, "Honey Moon," is a headphone record with layer upon layer
of cool weird treasures waiting to be discovered with successive listens.
The twosome's seventh CD, "Last Days of Wonder" (June 2006), was one of
Mojo's Top Ten American Albums for 2006 and was called "an unqualified
triumph" by Uncut. Their songs have been covered by many artists, most
notably: Andrew Bird, Christy Moore, The Sadies, Sally Timms and Cerys
Matthews.
There is a great piece in the Guardian here.
