I don't say this very often about a record I've only heard once, but the second Heartless Bastards cd, "All This Time", is beautiful.
Throughly and darkly beautiful. Muscular, anthemic, urgent, and almost Nordic in its spirit, it makes it's successor, "The Mountain" seem somehow
"quiet" (although it rocks too). They're citizens of Austin, TX (my home away from home), but hail from Ohio. Serious melon farmers, my friends.
