Our Take
Our Take
The Handsome Family's latest album, Odessa, is a hauntingly beautiful journey through the heartland of America. With their signature blend of Americana and gothic storytelling, the husband-and-wife duo deliver an album that is both captivating and chilling.
Opening track "Albion Moonlight" sets the tone for the album, with Brett Sparks' deep baritone vocals weaving a tale of love and loss against a backdrop of twangy guitars and mournful fiddle. The lyrics, filled with vivid imagery and dark humor, draw the listener in and refuse to let go.
Songs like "Rocket" and "The Silver Light" showcase Rennie Sparks' poetic prowess, with her evocative lyrics painting a picture of a world both strange and familiar. The duo's harmonies blend seamlessly, creating a sense of intimacy that is both eerie and comforting.
Throughout Odessa, the Handsome Family deftly navigate themes of death, nature, and the supernatural, all while maintaining a sense of playfulness and wit. Tracks like "Gentlemen" and "My Ghost" showcase the duo's ability to craft catchy melodies that linger long after the music fades.
Overall, Odessa is a triumph for the Handsome Family, showcasing their unique blend of storytelling and musical talent. Fans of Americana and dark folk will find much to love in this latest offering from the veteran duo. So grab your favourite bourbon, dim the lights, and let the Handsome Family take you on a journey you won't soon forget.

About the artist
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.
