Prayerbones

Album profile: Prayerbones

This Portland quartet is a touch more stylised and "professional"-sounding than most of indie alt-country label Checkered Past's esteemed, rough-and-ready roster. Like Tarnation and the late, lamented Jody Grind, the Flatirons make use of cool, smokey female vocals and American roots-oriented songforms in service of a dark, subtle vision. As articulated on PRAYER BONES, that vision encompasses elegant folk-rock ("Heaven Help You"), desolate, minor-key ballads ("So Lonesome", "Devil Lives in Dallas") and more than a touch of postmodern country. The production is spare and straightforward, allowing distinctive vocalist Wendy Pate and the ominous mood of the arrangements to take centre stage.
