Australian chain gang Graveyard Train have explored dark and sometimes menacing territories on their new album Hollow. Twisting and pushing the boundaries of ‘alt-country’ to the extreme, Hollow is a macabre journey that seamlessly moves from swampy stomp to deranged psychadelia to folk ballad. As on previous occasions, the harrowing group vocals sing of darkness and woe, however the album marks a move into darker areas as the human condition is brought into focus. Death has never been more terrifying

HOLLOW

“The Builders And The Butchers' musical output is something of a Pentecostal throw-down—the musical underpinnings are reminiscent of bluegrass, but the performances are raw and unschooled, with Sollee in particular throwing off a maniacally ecclesiastical sort of energy…dark, sparkling, Leadbelly-like terrain covered by death-fixated epics…” – PasteMagazine.com

"Never Tell" from The Spark - The Builders and the Butchers 5th LP to date, and 3rd on Badman Recording Co., features a wide array of sounds, while still being a Builders record at its heart.  “Never Tell”: "Influenced by a series of post apocalyptic novels I read, where people infected with a disease are burned at the stake.  Kind of a cautionary tale.  This song really came together from the first writing process to the final mix.  Harvey's banjo line carries the melody throughout," singer Ryan Sollee reveals.

We are very pleased to present an epic album from The Builders and the Butchers!  Influenced largely by the post-apocalyptic writing of Cormac McCarthy, the new album delves deep into epic sonic territory that The Builders had yet to venture.    More albums here: http://badmanrecordingco.com
