End Times

A stark, skeletal divorce record captured on four-track tape. Mark Oliver Everett’s most vulnerable hour, defined by dusty acoustic guitars and a voice on the brink.

It's the ultimate 'sitting in a dark room with a drink' record for when your life just fell apart.

A stark, unvarnished portrait of domestic collapse that finds a strange, quiet dignity in total exhaustion.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The brittle, cracking high notes in 'A Line in the Dirt' that sound like a man physically breaking.

The sudden, jarring shift into the distorted blues stomp of 'Gone Man' that interrupts the acoustic gloom.

The way 'Little Bird' uses a simple, nursery-rhyme melody to deliver a devastating realization of abandonment.
