MR PLOW
the book of common despair

Release Date: 28/07/2009

the first few copies come with the 'taste of pinkbox' sampler cd. pinkbox records release 'the book of common despair' - the debut album from mr plow. the twelve self-penned tracks feature the mournful baritone vocals and stark, raw guitar picking of this towering americana enigma; harnessing the sounds of country, rockabilly and folk to weave tales of betrayal, jealousy and revenge. the album follows up the success of mr plow's 2008 'four murder ballads' ep, a quartet of similarly bleak tales. comparisons have been drawn to the sounds of johnny cash, nick cave and the handsome family, and in a similar vein to these artists, mr plow's music makes the world 'a darker but better place'.
