Dropping the Writ

Cass McCombs

Dusty, sun-bleached indie rock that feels like a long drive through the American West. Enigmatic storytelling delivered with a gentle, world-weary croon.

October 9, 2007 · Domino

A sun-drenched, slightly surreal journey through the quiet corners of the American psyche.
