Album artwork for Last Days Of Wonder by The Handsome Family

back in stock and cheaper. this handsome family record travels from swamps and caves to laboratories and bowling alleys, always celebrating the mystery and madness in love. the songs explain who's hanging shoes on telephone wires, why automatic sinks in airports sometimes don't see your hands, and why the handsome family refuses to go to heaven unless flies can come too. special guests on the record include stephen dorocke on pedal steel (freakwater / jesse sykes) as well as saw-player david coulter (test dept / the pogues / tom waits). the entire album was recorded over a year's time in the converted garage studio at the back of brett and rennie sparks' albuquerque house. brett recorded it all on a mac and a whole mess of wires, microphones and little metal boxes. alongside the usual guitar, bass and drums you will hear mellotrons, ukulele, banjo, bowed wine glasses, and trombone. on loose.
