The Handsome Family “Honey Moon” LP
I am in love with the new record by Chicago alt-country mainstays, The Handsome Family. I am not usually into country-related music, but this stuff really works for me (just listen to the haunting song below from the perspective of a Praying Mantis). They are often covered by Andrew Bird (think “The Giant of Illinois”), and just all-around adored in Chicago. Pick up the LP at your local record store, or for $18 shipped at HandsomeFamily.com.
