The Handsome Family

The Handsome Family

Taking place under bowed branches and deep within winding corn mazes, The Handsome Family released their latest album, Honey Moon, through Carrot Top Records on April 14, 2009. Celebrating the duo’s twentieth year of marriage and eighth studio release, the record plays out as a series of love songs that sharply contrast the dark themes of their previous seven releases.

Marissa Nadler also just put out a new album, Little Hells, on March 3rd on Kemado Records. An MP3 from that awesome record is posted above.

The two acts are touring together, and will play NYC’s Highline Ballroom on Saturday, April 25th. Tickets are still on sale. We also have TEN pairs of tickets to give away.
