Lasso - Lasso'd
New full-length from the Kalamazoo, MI country-psych-folkers. Even with a higher-fi and fuller sound, Lasso are still able to take you away to a barren land and leave you for dead. A mix of tunes for the saloon and tunes for your thirsting and hopeless crawl toward a distant mirage. Released on CD/cassette by Double Phelix, and available through bandcamp.
