Tarbox Ramblers

ghosts of US primitive landscape; graveyard gospel, trance sounds, sweet melodies chronicling confusions in love. affectionate resonance of stringband. secret affiliation with english balladry, fascination with sinners for whom no god is enough. flat-affect chronicles recant lostness and chaos in the rural states. murder tales play a role.

ALL MUSIC GUIDE: "The Tarbox Ramblers go down into the deep reaches of their frontman’s collective American Gothic psyche, and dredge up the ghosts, the faded photographs, the myths and texts of a time that may never have existed in the popular consciousness… starkly beautiful textures that are drenched in sepia-toned images, and black and white newsreels from the focal point of the ravaged human heart. a slash and burn affair that holds its secrets close, and offers its dirty treasures abundantly."



THE WASHINGTON POST: “A sound that is at once reminiscent of the past yet wholly original. Their chemistry, akin to a force of nature, is undeniable. This is a band that demands to be seen again.”



THE NEW YORKER: “The band's debut album is filled with early-twentieth century blues and back-country music. Between the string bass, drums and slide guitar, you won't know what hit you.”



MOTHER JONES: "Grimy, thrilling noise"



ALL THINGS CONSIDERED: "Homemade rock 'n' roll with a dose of rattlesnake venom and gospel-drenched howling. The Tarbox Ramblers' second album delves even deeper into raw roots music than their first."
