…suitable for the darkest hours before dawn: loneliness and loss, fear and insanity, death or something worse.

By turns melancholic, mournful and (of course) spooky, Lonesome Wyatt & The Holy Spooks are clearly masters of their macabre craft.

It’s one of the finest explorations of sadness that I’ve ever heard.

Lonesome Wyatt and his Holy Spooks aren’t really so lonesome — they’re in good company in the world of gothic folk, joining the likes of Black Heart Procession and Dead Man’s Bones in the creepier corner of the new Americana.

Lonesome Wyatt delves deep into his soul lyrically to bring what I think is one of the most innovative, creative and heartfelt records in a long time.
