Hanky Panky

The The

Hank Williams standards reimagined as noirish, reverb-drenched post-punk. A slow-burning collision of Nashville heartbreak and London gloom.

1994 · Epic

A heavy, nocturnal sense of longing that feels both ancient and modern.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way 'I Saw the Light' is transformed from a gospel celebration into a slow, menacing crawl of feedback and heavy drums.
The skeletal, haunting harmonica solo that opens 'I Can't Escape From You', sounding more like a ghost than an instrument.
The transition from the frantic energy of 'Honky Tonkin' into the brief, sub-one-minute funeral dirge of 'Six More Miles'.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
