Band of Heathens - Top Hat Crown & The Clapmaster's Son

Band of Heathens - Austin-based band returns with their third studio album of alt-country, rock/soul shuffles and folk/Americana...plus a triple threat of three frontmen and songwriters // Release: Top Hat Crown and the Clapmasters Son (March 29) // Quote: “. . . there’s no denying the appeal of the group’s soulful rocking swagger and lock-tight arrangements.”—TEXAS MONTHLY // Sounds like: a touch of Little Feat's gut bucket funk/rock, a smidgen of Black Crowes rootsy stomp, a dash of Byrds-ian Topanga guitar jangle ("Check out "Polaroid" below), a pinch of The Band's classic "Big Pink" era modern country manners... // What we like: the ability to mesh a variety of rootsy influences -- not to mention the collaborative writing of Ed Jurdi, Gordy Quist and Colin Brooks -- into something that is both reassuring and continually surprising...
