Wilderness

The Handsome Family - "Wilderness" (2013) - Carrot Top Records

Hello Friends,

Wilderness is the tenth studio album by Chicago's best married duo of gothic country-folk rock, The Handsome Family.

All the songs, I suppose, are supposed to be about things you see in a wilderness but with songs like "Eels", "Octopus", "Glow Worm" & "Wildebeest",  we're not sure what kind of "wilderness" these weirdos are hanging out in...

Good record overall. Very spooky and atmospheric. Lyrically, it sounds like a series of fucked up, noirish children's stories.

Earlier this year, The Handsome Family provided the opening credits song ("Far From Any Road") to the fantastic HBO series, True Detective.

Alright! Alright!
