Swampy space gospel with a retro-futuristic swing​

Not too long ago, as a little group project, we made a record of science-fiction inspired grooves anchored by Stacey Cargal's lap steel. It was very well received, but it's currently out of print. Well, don't look now, but we're going to re-release it as part of the Somerset Sound launch, and it might even be free! Hit us up over on the Contact page and we'll make sure you know when it happens. ​

​BLACKFOX EP available now on Bandcamp

Longtime sidemen Mitchell Sosebee, Ryan Taylor, Stacey Cargal, and Cade Lewis decided it was long past time to do their own thing. This thing turned into BLACKFOX. ​Elements of heavy Americana, garage, country and gospel get the heavy guitar treatment, topped with harmony vocals and a sense of humor.
