The Greyhounds are a Dynamic Duonew

The Greyhounds recently released an EP titled Spring Training. Compared to some of their funky material from the 2000s, the new stuff is more spare and sparse, but the element of soul remains intact.

After a Series of Strokes and Surgeries, Reese McHenry Survives and Bloomsnew

"Seems to me that she had a lot of energy building up while she was sick and was just not physically able to do all the things her spirit wanted to do. Now that she's better, all that kinetic energy is being released and she's super creative." — Spider Bags' Dan McGee

It's kind of like the electro-addled blues of Califone transplanted into Nick Cave's murky environs and given the ramshackle, wounded grace of a Tom Waits tune.
It isn't called The Black Heart Procession for nothing.
