Our warehouse will be moving soon — the shop will be temporarily closed to pack up, relocate, and get everything set up in the new space. To avoid the pause in shipping, please get your orders in by Sunday, April 5th, so we can send them out before the move begins. Thanks for your understanding!
Jesse Sykes' stark songs roil with themes of loss, resignation, and love laid bare, placing them sonically and lyrically somewhere between Pour Down Like Silver-era Richard & Linda Thompson or vintage Neil Young, the warm country-gothic-noir of Nick Cave, and the elegant indie-rock of Cat Power. Oh, My Girl is the second full-length resulting from Sykes' partnership with guitarist/songwriter Phil Wandscher, whose previous musical project was Whiskeytown, the revered North Carolina post-punk altcountry band that he co-founded with Ryan Adams. The rest of The Sweet Hereafter a band that includes seasoned ex-members of Neko Case's band, Joel Phelps' Downer Trio, and The Walkabouts is sublime.
This is a beautiful, heartbreaking album.
