Album Notes

The Blades are a six piece Band with a capital B. The songs' color pallette range from acoustic ballads to moody swamp-noir to electric rockers and are inhabited by characters that would be at home in a Jim Thompson or Raymond Chandler novel.

Comparisons have been drawn to the Byrds, the Velvet Underground, Dream Syndicate, Giant Sand, Gram Parson, Green on Red and the Mekons. Close your eyes and you'll see visions of long abandoned stretches of highways or late nights in the desert and maybe a campfire of two.

The Blades have played support for the likes of the Silos, Continental Drifters and Paul K.
