Lyrically zany, yet musically earnest - The Bitter Tearsblend madcap humor with a colorful palette of acoustic guitars, piano, horns, strings and the occasional accordion. Jakehouse includes boozy waltzes ("Oiling Up"), well-managed forays into poppy, alt-country territory ("Slay The Heart Of The Earth"), and the surprisingly emotive, piano driven gem “Hamptons.”
To be released March 19, 2009. Buy their previous album on
Reminds us of: Giant Sand, Ween, The Decembrists
