Letters From Sinners & Strangers

Dusty Americana with a noir edge. Reverb-soaked guitars and a cool, understated voice that feels like a midnight drive through the high desert.

April 17, 2007 · Signature Sounds

A cool, late-night stillness that feels both lonely and deeply comfortable.

Moments Worth Listening For

The surf-rock tremolo of Jerry Miller's guitar cutting through the acoustic folk arrangement of Dusty Boxcar Wall.

The unexpected entry of the bass clarinet on Too Hot to Sleep, adding a sultry, jazz-noir weight to the track.

The way Jewell's voice barely rises above a whisper on the final notes of In the End, leaving a haunting silence.
