DEAD COWBOYS
boutique catalogue



TWIN EVIL STARS BOUCD 6610 £10
Dead Cowboys offer a distinctly British slant on twisted Americana and bottom-of-the-glass heartache. Singer/songwriter Dave Jackson rips through a stash of raw-edged, country-peppered prairie gems as menacing as they are dynamic. The band describe Twin Evil Stars as a 'cowgoth' hybrid of post-punk folk, fused to classic torch ballad pop. A sort of Unamericana for people who dig Hank Williams and Joy Division, but think Ryan Adams sounds like bad pub rock. The album was recorded in the band's hometown of Liverpool in 2004, and follows their well-received debut Comings and Goings, released in 2000 on the Viper label. On this latest collection core members Dave Jackson, Becky Stringer (bass) and Greg Milton (guitar) are joined by keyboard player Peter Baker. Standout tracks include Black Easter, Violet City, Twin Evil Stars, New Neighbour and the Mindwinder remix of Changing Trains. Twin Evil Stars offers 18 new tracks and runs for 74 minutes. Full tracklist: Twin Evil Stars, Black Easter, Violet City, The Silent Type, Understand, Changing Trains, Biting The Ground, Relentless, A Good Car, New Neighbour, Jewels, No Mystery/ Breathe Pure White Light, Cowboy Mouth, Kill The Dream, Ladder To The Sun, Good Boys Stay Poor Boys (Bad Boys Go To Jail), Patterns, Drowning Weed, Changing Trains (Lefty Mix).
