Our Take

Ah, Richmond Fontaine, the alt-country band that's been churning out tunes for two decades now. Post To Wire, their 20th Anniversary Edition, is a lovely slice of Americana goodness that'll have you tapping your toes and reaching for a cold one.

The album kicks off with the melancholic "Only in the Dark," setting the tone for the rest of the record. Lead singer Willy Vlautin's soulful vocals meander through tales of heartbreak, addiction, and desperation, all set against a backdrop of twangy guitars and lilting pedal steel.

Tracks like "Winner's Casino" and "When You Come for Me" showcase the band's knack for crafting poignant, heartfelt lyrics that stick with you long after the last note fades away. The addition of bonus tracks on this anniversary edition breathes new life into old favourites, giving fans a fresh take on timeless classics.

While some may find the album's slower moments a bit too introspective, it's in these quiet moments that Richmond Fontaine truly shines. So grab a pint, settle in, and let Post To Wire wash over you like a warm summer breeze. It may not be the most groundbreaking album you'll hear this year, but it's certainly one that'll leave you feeling wistful and longing for a simpler time.
