Melting Vinyl: The Handsome Family + Special guests

The Handsome Family (song writing and marriage partners Brett and Rennie Sparks) have been defining the dark end of Americana for over 30 years. Brett writes the music and Rennie writes the words. Their work has been covered by many artists including Jeff Tweedy, Andrew Bird and most-recently Phoebe Bridgers. The song “Far From Any Road” was the opening theme for HBO’s True Detective season one and still receives thousands of Shazams every week from all over the world. Their eleventh studio album, Hollow (out now on Loose) delves into the natural world at the edges of the man-made. It is a record lush with leaves and shadows and echoing with occult mystery.
