Mark Growden’s first studio album of songs in eight years, is a gorgeously evocative set of ‘Americana noir’ that matches the legendary energy of Growden’s live shows. His now-longtime backing band featuring guitarist Myles Boisen, acoustic bassist Seth Ford-Young, percussionist Jenya Chernoff, cellist Alex Kelly, and trumpeter Chris Grady provides an energetic complement to Growden’s voice, accordion, banjo and baritone saxophone. Digging deep in harrowing personal tales of suffering and redemption, Growden emerges with his best recording yet.
