This record takes a little bit of everything the southern music scene has
to offer, cooks it into a steaming gumbo and drives your ears to excstasy(sp bu \t fuck it)
http://www.lastchancerecords.com/john-moreland-in-the-throes-vinyl-lp/'>John Moreland- in the throes lyrically deep, crafted using the philosophy of less
is more to co=nvey emotions that cut to the core. I heard truth is whatsongs are for. Nobody gives a damn about songs anymore. is just one of
many haymakers John throws on the record. In The Throes is musically
stripped bare, much like the emotions John wrings out of his songs. Playing
nearly every instrument, John doesn t rely on other musicians to bring his
lyrics to life, instead his playing provides the space for the lyrics to
have the greatest impact much in the manner that Springsteen did on the
classic Nebraska. Pour yourself a stiff drink, turn the lights down low,
and give your demons hell.
