Originally released in 2003, 'Singing Bones' is the sixth album from Brett Sparks and Rennie Sparks of The Handsome Family, marking their first recordings after relocating from Chicago to Albuquerque - a move that infused their sound with desert heat, noir atmosphere, and a distinctly 'Western Gothic' edge. The album gained global recognition when 'Far From Any Road' became the theme to True Detective, reaching millions of listeners worldwide, and now returns newly remastered and, for the first time in Europe, on vinyl, featuring a bonus CD of unreleased demos and live recordings.
