Outlaws and gunslingers, fingers in the air, smoking guns, late nights and later mornings. These are the images of "Cowboy Noir" I conjure up. There's poetry in every line, whether they're singing it or playing it. This is an album of group-shouts and stomp-alongs, walls of vocals and horns, rolling banjos that dig into places left unexpectedly unexplored, shattering drums that speak to the primal... this is a modern tale wrapped in the time-tested. Turn it up. The whole thing is quite at home settling in at the bottom of a glass. It's Cowboy Noir after all. Drink it with your earholes.
