'The White Waltz and other stories' their debut ten track opus is an exceptional and immaculately colossal body of work, all at once hollow, harrowing and haunting it's a feast of bourbon soaked gallows goading graveyards of doomed romance, the setting one of torched and parched desolate landscapes, swollen sunsets, swirling dustbowls - a place frequented by the abandoned, the lost and the fallen. At turns dark and demonic yet murderous and magnificent - amid the pining jamborees of Mexicana death rattles and dust bowl delta blues siestas these bruised bar room ballads reverberate amid a flawless spectacle of disquieting beauty.'
