Cowboy JunkiesPale Sun, Crescent Moon

Smoky, slow-burning alt-country drenched in Margo Timmins' velvet murmur and Michael's molasses guitar. The band stretches out into noisier, more textured territory here, balancing hush and squall. Late-night, candle-lit and quietly devastating, it's a record that breathes in the dark. Dim the lights and let it smolder.
