Slack Bird at Exchange
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Deep droning accordion, finger-plucking banjo and gruff Finnish vocals meld into this uniquely Scandi psych-noir take on traditional Appalachian folk ballads. A totally bewitching and confounding fusion FFO: 16 Horsepower, Hedningarna, Calexico, Gogol Bordello."
