LONESOME WYATT AND THE HOLY SPOOKS / Ghost Ballads [2013]

Lonesome Wyatt (of Those Poor Bastards) releases another album of great mournful, haunting beauty and the grotesque with 2013's Ghost Ballads.
Like a bad dream you don't want to wake up from, Wyatt seems to be channelling the tortured spirits of a different era with each song.  Deceivingly simple folk music creaks into your heart and soul with solemn dread that knows no time, like a Syd Barrett song from beyond the grave.  Eerie sound effects linger throughout the record making for a fantastic listen when you're giving it your undivided attention.  Do yourself a favor and mosey on over to their official site and pick yourself up a copy of this haunting little album.
