Our Take
Our Take
The Handsome Family's latest offering, "Hollow", is like stumbling upon a hidden gem in a dusty old record store. With their signature blend of murder ballads and darkly humorous lyrics, this album is a hauntingly beautiful journey through the twisted world of Americana.
Brett and Rennie Sparks, the husband-wife duo behind the band, have crafted a collection of songs that are as eerie as they are enchanting. From the ghostly wails of "Octopus" to the melancholic twang of "The Red Door", each track on "Hollow" is a masterclass in storytelling and atmosphere.
The album's production is as sparse and atmospheric as the Nevada desert, with each instrument and vocal line perfectly balanced to create a sense of unease and wonder. The guitar work is haunting, the drums are hypnotic, and Rennie's ethereal vocals float effortlessly above it all.
Lyrically, "Hollow" delves into the darkest corners of the human experience, exploring themes of death, decay, and existential dread with a wry sense of humour. In the hands of a lesser band, these topics could come off as trite or melodramatic, but the Handsome Family's wit and intelligence elevate them to a level of literary brilliance.
Overall, "Hollow" is a masterpiece of dark Americana that will leave you feeling equal parts unsettled and enchanted. It's the perfect soundtrack for a late-night drive through the back roads of your own mind, where shadows lurk around every corner and beauty can be found in the most unexpected places.

The Handsome Family
Ah, the enigmatic duo known as The Handsome Family. A twosome hailing from Albuquerque, New Mexico, these musical mavericks have been carving out their own niche in the alt-country scene for over two decades. Comprised of husband-and-wife team Brett and Rennie Sparks, The Handsome Family have gained a cult following for their dark, poetic lyrics and haunting melodies. Their music is often described as a mix of Americana, gothic country, and murder ballads, with a touch of surrealism thrown in for good measure. With Brett's deep, resonant voice and Rennie's evocative storytelling, The Handsome Family have a unique sound that is both captivating and unsettling. Their songs are like short stories set to music, full of strange characters, twisted narratives, and a healthy dose of black humour. But don't let their spooky vibes fool you - The Handsome Family are also incredibly talented musicians. Brett's intricate guitar playing and Rennie's melodic bass lines create a rich sonic tapestry that is both raw and refined. So if you're in the mood for some music that's equal parts creepy and compelling, look no further than The Handsome Family. Just be sure to leave the lights on while you listen - you never know what dark and twisted tale they might spin next.
