This is another infectious gumbo of music from this eclectic group of Austin musicians. This group has given us another set of great songs about things we might otherwise not think were important enough to write a song about with their usual irreverent attitude that skewers all banality. The cast of characters that inhabit these songs is a conglomeration of the left out pieces of combining a Stephan King short story with a William S. Burroughs piece. This group does it without
sacrificing the musical mix that they are known for; they put the alt in alternative country with their musical dexterity on the multitude of instruments, and genres of music they fuse together. A great new collection that is waiting to expand the stuck in mud pieces of your mind, and revitalize your spirit.
