Damon Moon and the Whispering Drifters’ second full-length, Lungs, Dirt and Dreams, isn’t slated to materialize until Feb. 21 via Adair Park Recordings, but earlier this week the label leaked “Seasonal Suite No. 62” as the first look at what the group has been up to over the last several months. This latest number from Moon and Co. is cut from the same rustic darkness as anything they've crafted in the past, but it also hints at a more experimental side of the group that was captured back in March/April when they retreated to the North Georgia mountain town called Tiger to record.

Here the lush, full-bodied sound, the aching lap steel, and Sydney Eloise Ward’s sparse vocal textures conjure up a dreamlike and fatalistic hue that transcends gothic Americana by settling into a wilting ambiance that’s both haunting and hypnotic as it pulls at your heart strings.
